6 Determining density of liquids
At the density determination of liquids, a glass sinker is used whose density 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.
Prepare balance as described in chapter 3 "Installation of density determination set".
 Place the retainer of the immersion basket on the cone of the weighing plate.
 Place the platform for glass containers in a way that it does not touch the
retainer of the immersion basket.
 Place a high glass beaker in the centre of the platform. Suspend thermometer.
 Keep the sinker ready
 Bring test liquid / instruments / sinker to the right temperature until you achieve
a constant temperature. Observe the warm-up time of the balance.
 Connect the balance to the power supply, the balance carries out a self-test.
Switch on by the ON/OFF button and wait until the gram display appears.
