PX Series Balance
1. Weigh the sample in air using the balance and the density
determination kit.
When the * (symbol of stability) appears, press the
Function / Mode button to confirm the weight of the
sample in the air.
2. Weigh the sample submerged in the liquid using the
balance and the density determination kit.
Note: Lower the sample down into the liquid until it is fully
submerged.
3. Press the Function / Mode button to get the density of the
sample. After completion of the test, press the Function /
Mode button to test a new sample.
4.5.2 Measuring the Density of a floating Solid Using Water
1.
Press and hold the Function / Mode button until Density
appears. Press Yes to enter the Density Determination.
2.
In determining density with the balance, the balance
setup and density determination procedures are basically
the same for a floating solid and a non-floating solid
except for the necessary holder (as shown in the figure)
to be used for density determination.
3.
After completion of the test, press the Function / Mode
button to test a new sample.
Note: Lower the sample down into the liquid until it is fully
submerged.
