7.5 Density Function
The density function allows the user to determine the density value of solid or liquid
substances. The determination is based on Archimedes’ principle that a body immersed in a
liquid receives an upward thrust equal to the weight of the volume of the displaced fluid. For
the determination, you can use a below balance weighing balance (if present in the scale or
the "optimal density weighing kit" to place on the weighing plate.
To access the function from the "Functions" menu, tap the "Density" icon.

determine the density of the liquid.
Then tap the "Start" button to proceed with
the measurement.
Solid density: when selecting this type of
measure, you will be required to enter the
solid density value (g/cm3). If using distilled
water or ethanol, select the relevant item
below and enter only the liquid temperature
value. The density of the selected liquid at
the entered temperature will automatically
be entered. (The reference tables are
stored inside the balance).
Tap the "Start" button to proceed with the
measurement.
Density index: by selecting this type of
measurement, you can determine the
difference in density as a percentage
between two solid samples. (One solidified
at room temperature and the other under
vacuum).
The density index can be determined by
measuring the density value for both
samples, or by using the "theoretical
density" value for the sample solidified at
room temperature and measuring the
density value only for the vacuum sample.
In this case, you need to tap the
"Theoretical density" key to enter the
value.
Then tap the "Start" button to proceed with
the measurement.

To recall the formulation entered in the
database, use the "Select From List"
command, select the formulation you want
and proceed as shown below.
After selecting the desired formulation, a
summary screen will be displayed showing
all the components and their amount
needed to make the formulation.
Tap the "Ok" key to confirm and proceed
by entering the multiplication factor needed
to determine the total amount of the
formulation.
(i.e. if the formulation has been stored to
produce 10g of product and you want to
produce 100g insert a "K" factor of 10). If
the entered value does not allow the dosing
of one of the components because its
quantity exceeds the scale capacity, it will
not be accepted.
If the total weight of the formulation instead
exceeds the scale capacity, but the
individual components are lower, the user
will be asked whether to proceed with the
"separate formulation".
Yes: to proceed with the separate
formulation.
No: to change the value of the
multiplier factor "K" and reduce the
quantities.
The formulation screen shows the type of
formulation you are using by displaying two
symbols as described below:
Symbol displayed in case of "unique
formulation".
Symbol displayed in case of "separate
formulation ".

approaches the two levels of tolerance, the center zone is automatically enlarged to allow
dosing with a greater sensitivity.
The bar takes on different colours:
Yellow when the loaded weight is lower than the low limit.
Green when the weight is within the set range.
Red when the weight is higher than the high limit.
