Density determinations are performed by using Archimedes’ principle in a fluid loses weight by an amount equal to that of the fluid it displaces. The density table for water is included in the Explorer balance software.

The density of a solid is determined with the aid of a liquid whose density, Qo, liquid). The solid is weighed in air liquid (B). The density Q weighings as follows:

Improving the Accuracy of the Result of Solid Density

The following tips should help you improve the accuracy of the results in the density determination of solids.

Temperature

Solids are generally so insensitive to temperature fluctuations that the corresponding density changes are of no consequence. However, as work is performed with an auxiliary liquid in the density determination of solids, their temperature must be taken into account as the temperature has a greater effect with liquids and causes density changes in the order of magnitude 0.I to 1% per °C. This effect is already apparent in the third decimal place of the result.

To obtain accurate results, we recommend that you always take the temperature of the auxiliary liquid into account on all density determinations.

Air Buoyancy

1 1

1 CM3 of air weighs approximately 1.2 mg (depending on the

1 1 physical condition). As a consequence, in the weighing in air, each solid experiences a buoyancy of this magnitude (the socalled “air buoyancy”) per cm3 of its volume.

Liquid Density Determinations

The density of a liquid can be made using a sinker of known volume. The sinker is weighed in air and then in the liquid whose density is to be determined, The density, Q, can be determined from the two weighings as follows:

Density of the liquid

Q =

A - B V

= Weight of the sinker in air

Weight of the sinker in liquid

Volume of the sinker

Buoyancy of the sinker in the liquid

(

P = A-B)

In DENSITY SETUP, set Mode to Liquid Density and enter sinker volume in cc’s.

After weighing the sinker in air and then weighing the sinker immersed in liquid, the balance calculates the density of the liquid and is displayed in grams/cc.

However, the air buoyancy must be taken into account only when a result is required with an accuracy of 3 to 4 decimal places. To correct for this, the air buoyancy (0.0012 g per cm volume of the body) is added to the calculated result:

Calculated density + 0.0012 g/cm

air buoyancy =

effective density

Surface tension of the auxiliary liquid

Adhesion of the liquid to the Weigh Below Hook causes an apparent weight increase of up 3 mg.

As the Weigh Below Hook is immersed in the auxiliary liquid in both weighings of the solid (in air and in the auxiliary liquid), the influence of the apparent weight increase can be neglected because the balance is tared before every measurement.

To reduce the effect of air bubbles and to ensure the greatest possible accuracy, use a few drops of a wetting agent (not supplied) and add them to the auxiliary liquid.

Porous Material Density Determinations

The density of a porous (oil impregnated part) can be made with the balance. Weigh the part (dry) prior to oil impregnation and

record its weight

. You must also know the density value of the oil to be used in immersing the part before starting. In this procedure, you will follow the method for solid density measurements using water.

When Porous Material is selected and the Enter

button is pressed, a second display POROUS MATERIAL SETUP is shown. Enter the dry weight of the porous material and the density of oil used to impregnate the part.

Compare the reading on the balance to the expected weight being used. If the reading is above the expected weight, the delta entered in digits is negative. If the reading is below the expected weight, the delta entered in digits is positive. See following example:

Actual Weight Reading: 200.0014 Expected Weight Reading: 200.0000 Delta Weight (d): 0.0014 Delta weight in Digits: -14

Recalibrate using internal calibration. After calibration, place

the certified mass on the pan and see if the mass agrees with

the displayed value. If not, repeat procedure until internal

calibration reading agrees with the certified mass.

Span Calibration: Span calibration utilizes two calibration points, one at zero load and the other at specified full span. See the following table.
