Measuring The Density Of A Sinking Solid Using Water - OHAUS Pioneer PX Série Manuel D'instruction

PX Series Balance
Oil Density: 0.80000 g / cm
Four types of density determination can be made:
1. Solid more density than the auxiliary liquid
2. Solid less density than the auxiliary liquid
3. Liquid density
4. Porous material (impregnated with oil)
The following are the operating procedures for determining density of solid, liquid and porous material with water
as the auxiliary liquid. Other auxiliary liquids are also applicable for density determination.

4.5.1 Measuring the Density of a Sinking Solid Using Water

Press and hold the Function / Mode button until Density
appears. Press Yes to initiate the Density Determination.
Item Settings:
Sample type: Solid
Auxiliary Liquid: Water
Porous Material: Off
Water Temperature: Measure the actual water
temperature using a precision thermometer.
The water temperature is 20.0
Press No or Back to increase or decrease the value of
temperature. The balance calculates water density based on
the water temperature value entered.
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.
