2.10.4 Solid Specific Gravity Measurement
Solid specific gravity measurement refers to the measurement of the sample (solid) weight in the air
and in a liquid of known density and the calculation of the sample density.
The ▼d symbol is used to represent the solid density unit in this balance. The data output unit is DS.
1) Set Menu Map item [60].
Note: Enter the value for the density (g/cm3) of the liquid (water, alcohol etc.) in which the sample is
immersed.
2) Attach the optional weighing hook to the bottom of the balance, attach the hanging pan, and then
immerse the hanging pan in the tank filled with the liquid of known density.
3) Press the
key until ▼d is displayed.
4) Press the
key.
5) Load the sample on the balance pan or in the hanging pan in air.
6) After the stability symbol illuminates, press the key.
may be displayed but does not indicate a malfunction.
7) Load the sample on the hanging pan immersed in the liquid. The density of the sample is
displayed.
8) Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each additional sample.
Note:
•
Up to four decimal places are displayed for specific gravity. Since it may not be possible to
stabilize the balance using all 4 places, 1d/10d switching is possible.
• When loading the sample on the pan in the liquid, ensure that the entire sample is immersed in the
liquid.
•
The balance does not re-zero when the key is pressed in this unit display.
•
When the optional Specific Gravity kit is used, refer to the Instructional Manual of the Specific
Gravity kit for the procedure.
•
Return the balance to kg display mode first before performing the next menu operation.
