DENSITY OF LIQUID

When finding the density of a liquid, it is necessary to weigh a sample of known
volume in air and then in the liquid. The volume of the sample must be entered by
the user. The last known volume is stored for use at any time.

If using the density determination kit, the volume of the plumb is marked on its
support, i.e. 10.123

Steps:

1) Press [Mode] and then [Up] and [Down] to select Density mode.

2) Press [Enter] to select the Density mode

3) Use [Up] and [Down] to scroll through the solid or liquid method

4) When “DENSITY LIqUId” is displayed, press [Enter] to enter the liquids method

5) The volume will be asked for. Enter the volume using the numeric entry

method (see section 5.1) or continue using the last volume entered

6) Press [Enter] to continue
