11 Uncertainty of Measurement for Density Determination of Solids 
This table shows the approximate readability of the balance in connection with the 
density kit. Observe that these values have only been determined by calculation and 
that influent parameters such as described in chapter 6 have not been taken into 
consideration.

*when using a balance with a readability of 0.1 g, the numbers in this table have to be 
multiplied with 10. When using a balance with a readability of 0.001 g, divide the numbers 
through 10. 
Reading example for table: 
In a balance with a resolution of 0.001 g and a sample with a weight of 10 g, whose 
density is 5 g/cm
3
, the display graduation is at 0.007 g/cm
