Density determination (Hydrostatic weighing)

Density is the relationship of weight [g] : volume [cm
weighing the sample in air. The volume results from the ascending force [g] of the
sample dipped in a liquid. The density [g/cm
Archimedes).
The density is determined with help of the underfloor weighing device.

10.2.1 Density determination of solids

Prepare the balance as follows:
•
Switch off the balance
•
Remove the weighing pan and carefully turn over the weighing balance.
•
Screw-in hook for underfloor weighing (option)
•
Place weighing balance over an opening
•
Hook-in the sample support
•
Fill measuring liquid in a vessel e.g. beaker) and temper it.
