press [Enter] to start the liquid weighing. The balance will compute the
density of the sample and display it as “DENSITY XXXX g/cc”

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:

• Press [Mode] and then [Up] and [Down] to select Density

• Press [Enter] to select the Density mode

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

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

method

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

method (see section 7.1) or continue using the last volume entered

• Press [Enter] to continue

• The balance will request the weight in air by displaying “AIR WEIGHT”.

Place the glass plumb supplied with the density determination kit in air
on the weighing pan and press [Enter] to start the air weighing

• On completion of the air weighing, the balance will request the weight in

liquid by displaying “LIQUID WT”. Submerge the glass disk in the liquid
and press the [Enter] key. The balance will compute the density of the
liquid and display it. Remove the item from the pan

• Press [Mode] to continue with a new sample or press [Esc] to return to

normal weighing
