31.3.2. Determining density of solids

Density of solids is determined by weighing a solid object in two different

medium: in the air and in auxiliary liquid with determined density. The

difference between the two measurements is displacement weight, which

is used by scale software to calculate the density of tested solid.

Before starting the measurement select < Local parameters> menu

and choose <

Standard liquid> to be utilized in the density determination

process. Also determine the temperature of the auxiliary liquid. Declaring the

temperature of the auxuliary liquid enables matching its density to a table of

liquid densities. In case of selecting liquid type “Other”, its density value

should be specified in parameter <

Standard liquid density>. Here, the

Temperature> parameter is specified only for information purpose o

f the report.

Process course:

• Press < Local parameters> key to enter the setting of local

parameters in density mode.

• Press < Standard liquid> key to select the auxiliary liquid used

for the density determination procedure. If the auxiliary liquid is other

than “Water” or “Alcohol”, then select “Other” from the available list.

• Press < Temperature> key and specify the temperature of the

auxiliary liquid [°C]. Accept inserted value by pressing

key.

• If „Other” liquid has been selected, then press < Standard liquid

density> and insert the density value of the auxiliary liquid expressed

in [g/cm

] for the specified temperature of the measurement.

• On specifying the parameters exit to main menu of the density

mode by pressing

key.

• In order to start density determination of a solid, press <

Determine solid density> key, using a pre-defined hot keys on

terminal’s display.
