14.2 Liquid Density Measurement
Liquid density measurement refers to the measurement of the weight of a reference solid of
a known volume in air and in the sample liquid. Density of the liquid is calculated from these
two values. The display unit for liquid density is “d”. The data output unit is DL.
Use of the optional SMK-101, or SMK-102 Specific Gravity Measurement Kit
(refer to A-3.) is recommended for efficient measurements.
When using the SMK-101 or SMK-102, refer to the instruction manual of the kit.
Follow the instruction below when a hanging pan and a tank are prepared by the user.
1. Select menu item 61 in advance.
Enter the value for the volume (cm3) of the reference weight. Refer to 7.4
for numerical value input. To cancel the set-up, set the value to zero.
2. Remove the below-weigh hook cap from the bottom
of the balance to expose the below-weigh hook.
3. Hook the hanging pan, and then immerse the
hanging pan in a tank containing the sample liquid.
4. From mass display, press the [UNIT] key several
times until “d” is displayed.
5. Press the [O/T] key.
6. Load the reference weight on the pan of the
balance.
