13.2 Solid Specific Gravity Measurement
Solid specific gravity measurement computes the density (or specific gravity) of a solid sample by mea-
suring its weight in air and in a liquid of known density (or specific gravity).
The following is the procedure when using a hanging pan, a tank and a table allowing below balance
weighing, prepared by the operator. Measurement of density or specific gravity can be done even more
easily with an optional specific gravity measurement kit. When using the kit, follow the instruction man-
ual provided with the kit.
1
Remove the below-weigh hook cover on the
base of the balance, after removing the two fixing
screws.
2
Hang the user-prepared hanging pan from the
below-weigh hook and sink that hanging pan into
the liquid of the tank.
3
Register “,d” (the solid specific gravity) as a
unit, referring to
.
4
Input the density of the liquid to be used for
solid specific gravity measurement.
(a) Press the
[CAL]
key repeatedly from the mass
display until the “SEttinG” appears. Press the
[O/T]
key. The display shows “CAL dEF”.
(b) Press the
[CAL]
key repeatedly until “LSG SEt”
appears and press the
[O/T]
key. The
symbol and the
symbol appearing in the upper
part of the display panel indicates it is numerical
entry mode. Also “SG
∗
.
∗∗∗∗
” appears (where the
∗
.
∗∗∗∗
is a number). The leftmost digit of
∗
.
∗∗∗∗
blinks. The blinking digit can be changed.
(c) Press the
[UNIT]
key to increase the value of
the blinking digit by 1. Press the
[PRINT]
key to
set that digit and move the blinking digit one place
to the right. When the desired setting is entered,
press the
[O/T]
key to confirm the density of the
liquid to be used, or
(d) Press the
[POWER]
key to abort the setting
and return to the “LSG SEt” display.
