3 Various Measuring Methods
LF(R) Series Operation Manual
3-5 Measuring Specific Gravity
Use either underfloor measurement or the optional specific gravity measurement kit to
measure specific gravity. When using underfloor measurement, you need a cage or net in
which to place a sample, string, a container, and other tools depending on the sample you are
going to measure.
* Function 1 is “1 SEt. 5” (Solid gravimeter).
Set “11. MEd.” to “0: water” or “1: Not water” depending on the medium you will use.
3-5-1 Specific gravity measurement procedure
Measure the specific gravity according to the following procedures:
(1) Prepare measurement tools
(2) Set the water temperature or the specific gravity of the liquid
(3) Weigh the sample in air
(4) Correct the error of the basket
(5) Weigh the sample in water
(6) The specific gravity value is displayed
3-5-2 Preparing measurement tools
Prepare the following tools and a sample. (Tools must be procured by users.)
The balance may fail to accurately weigh small samples. Use as large a sample as
possible.
To accurately measure the specific gravity, set the water temperature. Measure the water
temperature inside the container in advance.
