DENSITY OF SOLIDS
To perform the density of solids test, the user must have a method to
immerse the sample in the chosen liquid. The density of the liquid must be
known or determined from a look-up table.
For water and ethanol the density will be calculated based on the
temperatures entered using the numeric entry method (see section 7.1)
Steps:
•
Press
[Mode]
and then
[Up]
and
[Down]
keys to select density
•
Press
[Enter]
to enter Density mode.
•
Press the
[Up]
and
[Down]
keys to select the solids or Liquid method
when “DENSITY SOLId”” or “DENSITY LIqUId” is displayed
•
Press
[Enter]
to select the solids method
•
Press
[Up]
or
[Down]
to select the liquid - Water, Ethanol or Other
•
Press
[Enter]
to select the choice. For water and Ethanol the
temperature will be asked for. Enter the temperature using the numeric
entry method (see section 7.1)
•
For the “Other” choice the density will be asked for. Enter the density
(g/cc) using the numeric entry method (see section 7.1)
•
Press
[Enter]
to continue
•
The balance will request the weight of the sample in air by displaying
“AIR WEIGHT”. Place the item on the pan or receptacle, if the density
kit is used and press
[Enter]
. The weight will be shown in the last
selected unit
•
After completion of the air weighing, the balance will request the weight
in liquid by displaying “LIQUID WT”. Submerge the item in the liquid and
press
[Enter]
to start the liquid weighing. The weight will be shown in
the last selected unit. After completion of the liquid weighing, the
balance will compute the density of the sample and display it as
“DENSITY XXXX g/cc”
•
Remove the item from the pan
•
Press
[Mode]
to continue with a new sample or press
[Esc]
to return
to normal weighing
