SERIES BALANCES - SKX
3.5 Density
Mode
This mode allows the user to calculate the specific gravity of a sample when using the density
kit. Density mode has been initiated when “G” and the current unit is displayed.
The sample is weighed in air suspended from the hook and then weighed in water. The formula
is
𝑑𝑟𝑦 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
𝑑𝑟𝑦 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 − 𝑤𝑒𝑡 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
Preparation
Prepare the balance as shown below. Remove the balance pan, insert the hook and install the
beaker stand (beaker is not supplied). Then press the
Zero/On
button to turn the balance on.

Density setup
1. Press and hold
Mode
until [
SPEC.Gr
] is displayed. [
Air.wWt
] will then be displayed.
2. Place the sample on the hook as described above and press
Yes
to store the dry weight
value. [
wW.wWt
] will then be displayed.
3. Suspend the sample in water and press
Yes
to store the wet weight value. The specific
gravity value is now displayed and “G” is blinking while the unit icon is turned off.
Notes:
Specific Gravity has no unit of measure.
For large samples it is recommended to use the weighing below feature instead of the
hook.
3.6 Mole Weighing Mode
To enter the Mole Weighing mode from any application mode, press and hold the
Mode
key
until [
mMoLE
] is displayed. When the
Mode
key is released, the display shows [
Clr.mMS
].
1. Press the
Yes
key to clear the stored Molar Mass. Press the
No
key to recall the existing
Molar Mass. If no Molar Mass was stored, the [
Clr.mMS
] display is skipped and inputting a
Molar Mass is required.
2. If there is a Molar Mass stored, the current Molar Mass will be displayed and flashing.
3. Press the No key to begin editing the Molar Mass.
5. Press the No key to increment the flashing digit.
6. Press the Back key to decrement the flashing digit.
7. Press the Yes key to accept the value and move one digit to the right.
Notes: If the setting exceeds the limit, the display returns to the previously stored value.
The most left number can be set to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,-. All other numbers can be
set to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
The available settings are from 0.01 to 999.99.
The Molar Mass unit is g/mol.
Display Molar Mass:
Press Function key to display the existing Molar Mass value for 2 sec.
New Molar Mass:
To enter a new Molar Mass press and hold the Function/Mode key until [
mMoLE
] is displayed.
