Specific Gravity

Purpose

Use this application program to determine the specific gravity of a sample. The result is

displayed with one decimal place. Beaker and wire not included with balance/scale.

Example: Determine the specific gravity of a solid.

Step Key (or instruction) Display

1. Select application program w > 2 sec

2. Select Specific Gravity v repeatedly

3. Confirm setting

Symbol “ ” on the display:

application is active

4. If necessary, zero the balance/scale w

5. Start application program v

6. Confirm the display, “

airval”

7. Determine weight of the sample in air:

place sample on the balance/scale

8. Store weight-in-air value

9. Remove sample from balance/scale

10. Determine weight of sample in liquid:

connect wire and set up beaker

11. Confirm the display “Water”

12. Place sample in liquid

13. Store the weight-in-liquid value

and view the result

14. Clear the display w

15. Exit the Specific Gravity application > 2 sec

16. Reactivate Specific Gravity (if no other v

application program has been selected)

17. Repeat procedure starting from Step 5.
