Beaker/Immersion Device
t 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:
– d 90 mm 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:
– 90 mm d beaker and sieve for immersing the
sample
