17.1. SUPPLEMENTARY SETTINGS FOR SOLIDS DENSITY MODE
The supplementary settings enable adjusting the working mode to your needs and requirements.
Liquid
Parameter allowing to specify liquid used for measurement performance: Water/Ethanol/Other.
Liquid density
Parameter allowing to enter density of liquid used for measurement performance. This parameter is
operable only when OTHER option for LIQUID parameter has been selected.
Temperature
Parameter allowing to enter temperature of liquid used for measurement performance. Temperature
value is necessary in order to take the right liquid density value needed for density calculation.
Balance software stores tables with density of water and ethanol in relation to temperature.
For means of operation of these functions read point 8.10 „WEIGHING mode settings”.
17.2. SOLIDS DENSITY – QUICK ACCESS KEYS
Each working mode features automatically displayed set of default keys. The set can be modified by
assigning out-of-list quick access keys to on-screen keys. Such operation requires particular
permissions level.
Read section 7.6.1 for list of quick access keys.
17.3. SOLIDS DENSITY DETERMINATION
Prior to procedure start, it is necessary to set process-related parameters:
• Liquid type
Distilled water
Ethanol
Other liquid with determined density
• Liquid temperature
(required if either distilled water or ethanol is used as liquid for measurement performance)
• Liquid density
The parameter is set automatically, after the temperature has been entered, if either distilled
water or ethanol is used as liquid. In case of using liquid other than distilled water or ethanol, it
is necessary to enter its density manually.
The density of solids is calculated using the following formula:
ρ - density of a sample
A - sample’s mass measured in the air
B - sample mass measured in liquid
ρ
o - liquid density
Determination of density for a particular solid consists in weighing the solid in the air first (using a top
weighing pan (4) of the density determination kit), and in the liquid next (using a bottom weighing pan
(2) of the density determination kit). Upon completed procedure the result is displayed automatically.
Procedure:
1. Install density determination kit.
