13.3 Liquid Density Measurement
Liquid density measurement computes the density of a liquid by measuring the weight of a sinker
(solid) with a known volume in air and in the liquid.
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 can be done even more easily with an
optional specific gravity measurement kit. When using the kit, follow the instruction manual 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 sample liquid in the tank.
3
Register “d” (liquid density) as a unit, referring
.
4
Input the sinker volume (in cm
3
) for liquid den-
sity measurement.
(a) Press the
[CAL]
key repeatedly from the mass
display until the “SEttinG” display appears. Press
the
[O/T]
key. The display shows “CAL dEF”.
(b) Press the
[CAL]
key repeatedly until “Sv SEt”
appears and press the
[O/T]
key.

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 place and move the blinking digit one
place to the right. When the desired setting is
entered, press the
[O/T]
key to confirm sinker vol-
ume (in cm

of the sinker to be used, or
(d) Press the
[POWER]
key to abort the setting
and return to the “Sv SEt” display.
