Caution:
If in the local parameters, <

Ask about sample number> function

is enabled, then on initiating the process, the system asks for inserting
the number of tested sample. The inserted sample number is linked to
the process data and saved in the database.

The first phase of density determination process is weighing a

pycnometer (if its mass has been determined as “0” in the local

parameters) – place an empty pycnometer on scale’s weighing

platform. On obtaining stable measurement result, accept it by
pressing

key. If mass of a pycnometer has been determined

in parameter <

Pycnometer mass>,

then this phase of the

process is omitted,

Then place on the scale’s weighing platform a pycnometer filled

with liquid. On obtaining stable measurement result, carry out the
measuring process, and accept it by pressing

key,

On carrying out the measurement of the pycnometer with tested

liquid, the scale determines the density of the liquid, and the density

determination result is indicated on terminal’s display. If the user

needs a report from the density determination process, it can be
printed on a plugged printer by pressing

key. The density

determination process is then completed,

A report from density determination using a pycnometer is saved

in <

Density>

database. The report is named by process date.

31.3.4. Determining density of a porous body

Determining density of a porous body is carried out in three phases:

Weighing a porous body in the air,

Weighing in the air of a porous body impregnated with oil,

Weighing in auxiliary liquid of a porous body impregnated with oil.

In case of porous objects, it is necessary to carry out an oil bath, which fills

and closes the pores of the material before its acutal weighing in the auxiliary

liquid.
