Place the Support into position over the bracket making sure the Support
does not make contact with the Bracket as shown in illustration.
6.9 Density
Four methods of density determinations can be made with the Voyager balance. These are: solids more dense than
water, solids less dense than water, porous material (impregnated with oil), and liquid density. A Density Determina-
tion Kit Part Number 470007-010 is specifically designed to be used with Ohaus
® Analytical Voyager balances.
Illustrations in this procedure refer to the density kit, however, you may use whatever lab apparatus that will suit the
requirements for density measurements. A built in reference density table for water at temperatures between 10ºC and
30ºC is included in the balance software. When making density measurements, the material should weigh at least
10.0 mg on an analytical balance and 100 mg on a precision balance.

Balance preparation
6.9.1 Balance preparation with density kit
Allow the balance to warm up sufficiently before making measurements.
Open either the left or right side door of the balance and remove the Pan as shown. Insert the Bracket into the
balance where the Pan was removed.
On balances which are rated over 400g, place the Equalizing Washer on top of the Bracket as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Beaker Installation
Install beaker on support as shown.
NOTE: Beaker and thermometer are not
supplied as part of the density kit.
