      How to use a Density Cup (Pyknometer)

      1. Weigh the cup and lid when empty

      2. Fill the cup with liquid to the very top

      Step-3_1

      3. Place lid on the Cup, removing excess liquid*

      Step-4

      4. Weigh the Density Cup when full

              5. Divide the weight of the liquid by the cup volume/capacity to determine the Specific Gravity

      The formulae for calculating Density and Specific Gravity are:

      Density = Liquid Weight / Cup Volume

      Specific Gravity = Density of the Material / Density of Water at the Same Temperature

      Note:
      50cc = 50cm³ = Volume
      100cc = 100cm³ = Volume

      *Each Cup has an escape hole in the lid to allow excess liquid to escape. Any excess liquid should be removed before weighing.
