4. Measuring the Density of a Solid
Assembling the Kit
(On the balance with a glass breeze break installed)
(1) Remove the weighing pan from the balance.
(2) Set the density pan stand on the balance.
(3) Set the beaker stand so that it does not touch
the density pan stand. Set the beaker stand
spacers under the beaker stand legs so that
the legs fit into the grooves of the spacers.
(4) Attach the thermometer clamp to the beaker
and insert the thermometer in the
thermometer clamp holes.
(5) Pour a liquid (distilled water, etc.) - whose
specific gravity is known - into the beaker and
place the beaker on the beaker stand.
(6) Place the density pan on the density pan
stand.
(7) Adjust the amount of the liquid so that the
sample is about 10 mm below the surface of
the liquid with the sample placed on the lower
pan (in the liquid).
(8) When the value displayed on the balance
becomes stable, press the RE-ZERO key to
reset the displayed value to zero.
Preparations
for
measurement are now
complete.
