DENSITY
• Install a 250ml beaker (not supplied) as shown when
using the density kit and suspend a precision cali-
brated thermometer 0° C to 30° C on the edge of the
beaker.
• Suspend the Weigh Below Hook from the Bracket into
the beaker.
• Fill the beaker with auxiliary liquid (liquid of known
density Q
0
' usually distilled water or ethanol). Insure
that the liquid will cover the sample by at least 1 cm
after immersion.
• Ensure that no air bubbles adhere to the immersed
part of the Weigh Below Hook. Remove air bubbles
by moving the Weigh Below Hook or by means of a
fine brush.
• Close the draft shield doors and tare the balance.
• Open the draft shield of the balance.
