You can determine the density of solid, liquid and powdery samples according
to one of two methods:
– Buoyancy method
– Specific gravity bottle method
The Achimedean principle is applied to determine the volume of a particular
sample; this volume is necessary for calculating the density.
Methods
Buoyancy Method To measure the density inside the weighing chamber
(toploading configuration), use the YDK 01 (-0D).
Specific Gravity
Bottle Method The method using a specific gravity bottle is suitable
for determining the density (specific gravity) of pasty and
powdery samples.
Select the method of your choice by setting the corresponding menu code from
the list below.
