8.2 Density determination of solids
For the determination of the density of solids, the solid is first weighed in air and then
in the aid liquid, whose density is known. From the weight difference results the
buoyancy from where the software calculates the density.
As aid liquid, usually distilled water or ethanol is used, see density table chapter 10.
8.2.1 Density determination while using the density kits KERN YDB-01
or YDB-02
For the density determination, we recommend to work with the optional density kit
KERN YDB-01 or YDB-02. This contains all the necessary structures and resources
for a comfortable and precise determination of the density.
• If needed, perform necessary adjustment prior to the installation of the density
kit, see chapter 6.6.
• When the density kit is installed, correct adjustment is not possible.
• For reasons of adjustment, take away the density kit and place the standard
weighing plate.
