When you are preparing to do a Density Test it will be necessary to fill the chamber with liquid. The choice of the type of liquid will be left for the user to decide, however some solvents may not be compatible with the Polycarbonate of the chamber or ABS of the Sample Pan. Test a small sample of the liquid on the plastics before filling the beaker if unsure. Fill the chamber with liquid lift the Chamber lid, or remove the Density Chamber from its support and pour through a funneled c

5.0 DENSITY FUNCTION Once the HCB J is prepared for a density test and the parameters have been set for doing the Density Determination (see section 6) the following procedure is used to weigh the sample in air, and then again in water or another liquid, allowing you to determine the density of the sample and if applicable a determination of the purity (karat) of the gold in the sample. The Hold function must be enabled (see section 7.2) for the Density function to operate correctly.
