Density Determination
Display symbol: W
Purpose
This application program lets you determine the density of solid substances using the buoy-
ancy method. You can have results displayed with one decimal place, or no decimal places:
see “Configuration.”
Note: the sample holder and suspension wire used in the example below are not included
with the balance/scale.
Parameter settings:
Applic.: Density: Dec.Plcs: 1 Dec. Pl. (menu code 2. 9. 1. 2)
Example: Determining the density of a solid sample.
