17.8. Density of solids
Density of solids
is a function that allows density determination of a material
selected for a reference mass sample.
Using this function entails an additional kit for determining density of solids and
liquids (optional equipment).
In order to assemble the density kit on a balance, remove a weighing pan and
draft shield from the balance. In the place of the weighing pan assemble the
weighing pan with stand (1) and place beaker’s basis (2) on it.
The kit is intended for PS balances with weighing pan 128x128 mm.
