Beaker/Immersion Device
§ Use the metal plate to support the beaker.
Place it on the bar frame base and then set both
on the balance.
The choice of the beaker and the immersion
device depends on the sample to be determined
(see below).
To determine the specific gravity of solids when
their density is greater than that of the liquid in
which the sample is immersed, use:
– 76 mm d beaker and sample holder
To determine the specific gravity of solids when
their density is less than that of the liquid in which
the sample is immersed, use:
– 76 mm d beaker and sieve for immersing
the sample
