When you are preparing to do a Density Test it will be necessary to fill the
chamber with liquid. The choice of the type of liquid will be left for the user to
decide, however some solvents may not be compatible with the Polycarbonate of
the chamber or ABS of the Sample Pan. Test a small sample of the liquid on the
plastics before filling the beaker if unsure.
Fill the chamber with liquid lift the Chamber lid, or remove the Density Chamber
from its support and pour through a funneled container. The beaker should be
filled no higher than the maximum filling mark and needs to cover the metal part
of the Temperature Sensor cable. If the Chamber is removed refit the Chamber
once finished as described earlier. Care should be taken to not spill any liquid
onto or inside the balance as damage may occur which is not covered under the
normal warranty terms.
To fill the chamber whilst it is away from the balance it will be necessary to
remove the Temperature Sensor and clip from the chamber which then allows it
to be removed from the support. The cable will need to be pulled gently upwards
from below the Temperature Sensor clip to allow easy removal of the clip. When
re-fitting the Temperature Sensor and clip follow the previous instructions
ensuring the cable is pulled down into a tight position and lifted away from the
Chamber.
If water is used a few drops of liquid detergent may be added to the water to
improve the wetting ability and avoid trapped bubbles of air on the sample being
tested. Stir well to distribute the soap evenly.
When removing samples from the chamber use a towel to dry the samples so
the water does not splash onto the balance.
