You will now be prompted to briefly immerse the solid body in the oil bath, and then put
it back into place (second weighing in air)
Put the oil-coated solid body back into the same position as in the first weighing in air.
The weight of the solid body is displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the window
Press “OK”, to accept the weight value.
The balance will now prompt you to immerse the oil-coated solid body in the auxiliary
liquid.
If you are working with the optional density kit, follow the instructions that are included
with it. If you are working with the hanger, place the container with the auxiliary liquid
underneath the suspension equipment. In either case, ensure that the solid body is sub-
merged at least 1 cm under the surface of the liquid, and that there are no air bubbles
in the container.
The weight of the solid body submerged in the liquid is displayed in the lower left-hand
corner of the window.
Press “OK”, to accept the weight value.
The balance now determines the density of the solid body and displays the result. Either
the compensated result, the uncompensated result, or both is/are displayed depending
on the settings you made for the result display (see section 10.3.5).
If a printer is connected, you can press the «F» key to print out a report of the density
determination result according to your specifications (section 10.3.8). The result is saved
until the next density determination using the same method has been completed, so it
can be printed out again if required.

10.4.6 Example of a density determination report
As soon as the result window of a density determination is displayed, you can print out
the associated report by pressing the «F» key.
Note: The result is saved until the next density determination has been completed and
can be printed out again by pressing the «F» key. This may be necessary, for example,
if you need a second copy of the report, or if the printer cannot print the report because
it has run out of paper.
Shown at left is an example of a report for a density determination of a solid body. The
information which is printed on the report is determined by the settings you made in the
“Protocol” (Report) menu (section 10.3.8).
