 d < 1 g /cm
3
At solid material with density less than 1 g/cm
3
, a density determination with two
different methods is possible.
Method 1:
As aid liquid is used a liquid with less density than that of the solid material, e.g.
ethanol approx. 0.8 g/cm
3
.
This method should be applied when the density of the solid is just slightly
different from that of the distilled water.
Using ethanol is not recommended, when the solid material is being attacked.
!
When working with ethanol, you must observe the applicable safety
regulations.
Method 2:
Here the sample is not placed upon, but under the sample dish. For that purpose
the sample dish of the immersion basket must be assembled upside down as
shown in fig. 2 with the help of the delivered Allen key.
If the buoyancy of the sample is so much that the immersion basket is lifted, place
an additional weight on it in the upper sample dish and tare it away when
weighing in air.
For floating solid matter suspend the immersion basket as shown in fig. 2.
