Pycnometer mass
Parameter designed for manual determining mass of a
pycnometer expressed in [g]. If inserted value is equal
to „0” then on test procedure start, the pycnometer mass
shall be measured.

31.3. Carrying out density determination procedure
Working mode
<
Density>
enables determining density in 4 different
methods, depending on material which density should be measured.
Methods of density determination: Liquid, Solids, Pycnometer, Porous
material.
31.3.1. Determining density of liquids
Density of liquid is determined by measuring mass of a sinker with
determined volume. First, the sinker has to be weighed in the air, and
then in liquid of which the density should be measured.
The difference between the two measurements is displacement weight,
which is used by scale software to calculate the density of tested liquid.
Before starting the measurement, the sinker’s volume should be inserted
to scale’s memory. The sinker’s volume is given on its hook.
