Solid Specific Gravity
Solid specific gravity is calculated by measuring the mass of a solid sample
in the air and in a liquid of known specific gravity. The unit for solid
specific gravity is
" , d."
Procedure
(1) Install the optional specific gravity measurement kit, SMK-301.
(2) Register the solid specific gravity unit.
F
See Section
10. “REGISTRATION, RELEASE, AND
SELECTION OF MEASUREMENT UNITS.”
(3) Set the specific gravity of the liquid.
F
See Section
23. “SOLVENT SPECIFIC GRAVITY FOR SOLID
SPECIFIC GRAVITY MEASUREMENT.”
(4) Press the UNIT key from the mass display to select
"d"
. While
measuring the mass in the air, the g unit is also illuminated.
(5) Press the
→
O/T
←
key.
(6) Place the sample on the upper pan.
(7) When stability symbol illuminates, press the CAL/MENU key.
(8) Next, place the sample on the pan in the liquid. Ensure that the
entire sample is immersed in the liquid. The display indicates the
specific gravity of sample.
(9) Start the measurement of the next sample from step (5).
