Determine the volume of the glass sinker If the volume of the glass sinker is unknown, it must be determined and calculated as follows. 1. Fill distilled water into the container and heat it until the temperature is constant. 2. Read the temperature on the thermometer. . Call-up weighing mode. If the weighing balance does not show Zero, press TAR. 4. Suspend the glass sinker. The weight of the drop shaft in air will be displayed. 5. Wait for the stability display O, then confirm by pressing TARE. 6. Place the water container on the platform and immerse the glass sinker. Wait for stability display 0. The balance displays the difference (weight in air - weight in water).7. Note the value (without sign) and calculate the volume of the glass sinker according to the following formula.
