Purpose
Use this application program to determine the specific gravity of a sample. The result is displayed with one decimal place.
Beaker and wire not included with balance/scale.
Example:
Determine the specific gravity of a solid.
Step
Key (or instruction)
Display
1. Select application program
(ZERO) > 2 sec
2. Select Specific Gravity
(F) repeatedly
3. Confirm setting
(ENTER)
Symbol “ “ on the display: application is active
4. If necessary, zero the balance/scale
(ZERO)
5. Start application program

”
(ENTER)
7. Determine weight of the sample in air:
place sample on the balance/scale
8. Store weight-in-air value
(ENTER)
9. Remove sample from balance/scale
10. Determine weight of sample in liquid:
connect wire and set up beaker
11. Confirm the display “

”
(ENTER)
12. Place sample in liquid
13. Store the weight-in-liquid value and view the result
(ENTER)
14. Clear the display
(ZERO)
15. Exit the Specific Gravity application
(ENTER) > 2 sec
16. Reactivate Specific Gravity (if no other
(F)
application program has been selected)
17. Repeat procedure starting from Step 5.
