1.  Introduction 

Thank you for your A&D purchase! This is the instruction manual for the density determination kit. 
The density determination kit can be easily used to measure the density of solid or liquid when it is combined 
with the following electronic balances.   

GX-124AE/GX-224AE/GX-324AE 
GX-124A/GX-224A/GX-324A 
GF-124A/GF-224A/GF-324A 

Before using the density determination kit, please read this instruction manual thoroughly. 

 

1-1.  Precautions 

  This density determination kit allows the density or specific gravity of a solid or liquid to be measured. However, 

the results of measurements may be affected by various factors that could cause errors, therefore we cannot 
guarantee them to be 100 % accurate. 

  Do not use the density determination kit for measuring the density of chemically active substances. 

  After using the density determination kit, clean all surfaces to remove rust and oxides. 

  The balance is precision instrument, so avoid shocks or excessive loads. 

  To improve measuring accuracy, allow the temperature of liquid (water) and sample (solid) to equalize to the 

ambient room temperature and perform measurement in a stable environment.
