Application Programs
All application programs can be selected on models
verified for use in legal metrology�
Verified values can be marked using the following
characters:
– Percent = %
– Piece count (Counting) = pcs
– Computed values = o, G
Density Determination
Display symbol: u
Purpose
This application program can be used to determine the
density of solid materials according to the buoyancy method�
Features
The density of liquid (g/cm
3
) can be set for a corresponding
temperature via the S key� See the next page for a table
on water density values� Factory setting is 1 g/cm
3
�
The following formula is used:
Density of sample =
Weight in air
————————————————————————
•Density of liquid
(weight in air – weight in water)
The liquid density is displayed briefly when you start the
density calculation�
Positive and negative weight values can be applied for the
sample in the air and water� The value in water, however,
must be less than the value in the air; otherwise, this will
trigger an error message�
The results can be displayed with 0 to 3 decimal places:

DEC.PLCS Number of decimal places
none No dec� places
o 1 dec pl. 1 decimal place
2 dec pl. 2 decimal places
3 dec pl. 3 decimal places
Note on using 3 decimal places:
Using three decimal places for density can result in a high
measurement error rate because corrections to the air density
and the density calculation sets are not taken into account,
for example�
