5 Determining density of liquids
For density determination of liquids, a glass sinker is used, whose volume is known.
The glass sinker is weighed first in air and then in the liquid whose density is to be
determined. From the weight difference results the buoyancy from where the
software calculates the density.
5.1 Activate function
In the “Unit.SEL” menu the density determination function for liquids “U- d“ can be
activated, which then will be available for the operator without needing to enter the
menu each time. The activated function then can be called-up directly via the
UNIT/ button.
Ö In weighing mode, press the CAL/MENU button repeatedly
until „FUnC.SEL“ is displayed.
Ö Press the TARE/ button.
(Example)
Ö Press the CAL/MENU button repeatedly until „Unit.SEL“ will
be displayed.
Ö Press the TARE/ button.

If the function of density determination already has been
activated, the standstill display ( ) will appear. In this case
press the ON/OFF button repeatedly, the balance returns
into the menu/weighing mode.
If the function for density determination of solid material is
deactivated, activate it by the TARE/
button. The
standstill display ( ) will appear.
Press the ON/OFF button repeatedly, the balance returns
