Density Determination
Cubis MSU User Manual 73
Density Determination
Purpose: You can determine the density and volume of liquid, solid, or pasty materials.
Combination options: Checkweighing, statistics, second tare, or individual identifiers
Requirements: You require the Sartorius YDK01MS density determination kit or your own
customer-specific set. The basic calculations for density determination are
described at the end of this section.
Features * = Factory setting
Liquid
*Water: For density determination using water; the density for the corresponding
temperature is calculated automatically
Ethanol: For density determination using ethanol; the density for the corresponding
temperature is calculated automatically
User input: For density determination using another liquid, enter liquid and its density for
corresponding temperature
Density at 20°C/68°F and exp. coefficient: For density determination using another liquid, enter density at 20°C and the co -
efficients of expansion; the density for the corresponding temperature is calculated
automatically.
Air Density
*Air density at 20°: For measurement under standard laboratory conditions
User input: For measurement under other conditions, enter air density
Decimal Places
No decimal place: The measurement value is displayed without decimal places.
1, *2, 3, or 4 decimal places: The measurement value is displayed with the selected number of decimal places.
You can choose from four methods for density determination:
– Determine density of liquid (with glass plummet)
– Determine density via buoyancy with Sartorius YDK01MS density determination
kit (for solid samples)
– Determine density via displacement (for solid samples)
– Determine density via pycnometer (for liquid, pasty, and powder samples)
