Operating instructions
WEIGH IN LIQUID
The balance prompts you to weigh the sinker in the liquid "WEIGH IN
LIQUID".
a) Pour the liquid into the beaker. Make sure that the sinker is
immersed by al least 1 cm in the liquid, and that there are no air
bubbles in the container.
b) Press « » to initiate the measurement.

*
The balance now shows the determined density of the liquid at the cur
rent temperature (read off on the thermometer).
Note:
●
This result has already been corrected for the air buoyancy. The
buoyancy caused by the immersed wire (Ø 0.2 mm) of the sinker
can be neglected.
●
By pressing «C», the balance returns to "PRESS ENTER TO START".
Result:
Press « », the result will be printed.
