Description
Digital Specific Gravity Balance
The Digital Specific Gravity Balance provides a simple and quick method for determining the specific gravity of rubber and other elastomers. It allows the specific gravity of a sample to be obtained directly, reducing manual calculations and simplifying the testing process.
The time required to determine the specific gravity of a sample is approximately half a minute, as specified for this balance.
The balance uses a vertical anodized scale with specific gravity (SG) markings mounted on a heavy base plate. A balancing arm is positioned at the centre of the scale and supported on two jewel bearings to minimize friction.
Two stainless steel pins are suspended from one end of the balancing arm. One pin is connected through a short length of yarn, while the other is connected through a longer length of yarn. The second pin is immersed in water inside a tall transparent jar positioned on the base.
A pointer is fitted to the opposite end of the balancing arm to indicate the specific gravity of the sample under test. A sliding weight is provided for initial balancing of samples with different weights, while a leveling screw is provided for initial leveling of the base plate.
Digital Specific Gravity Measurement
The GTX-SG4 Digital Specific Gravity Balance is provided with a digital system and has a specified range of 0.010 to 22.000.
The specific gravity is determined using the following relationship:
Specific Gravity = Weight in Air / (Weight in Air − Weight in Water)
