13. Specific gravity (density) measurement
English
GB 53
GR series balances are equipped with the specific gravity measuring mode. It calculates the density of
solid according to the weight of the sample in air and weight in liquid.
• The specific gravity measuring mode is not ready for use upon receiving the balance. To use the mode,
change the function table and activate the specific gravity measuring mode.
• Two ways to set the density of a liquid are avaible:
by entering the water temperature and by entering the density directly.
Formula to obtain the density
The density can be obtained by the following formula.
: Density of sample
A : Weight of sample in air
B : Weight of sample in liquid
: Density of liquid
Changing the function table
Setting the specific gravity measuring mode
(1)The specific gravity measuring mode is avaible as one of the units. To use the mode, select it in the
function table. For how to select the specific gravity measuring mode, see „Selecting a unit and
arranging the sequence of display“ in Chapter 5.2 (Select Unit d)
Selecting the way to set the density of a liquid
(2) Select the liquid density method from the function table below. The function table is avaible only when
the specific gravity measuring mode is selected. For how to select, see Chapter 8 „Function table“

Setting the density of a liquid
1. Press the [MODE] key as necessary to select the specific gravity measuring mode. When the
processing indicator (upper left ) flashes with the unit „g“ displayed, it indicates that the specific
gravity measuring mode is selected.
