Applications to use pure water or mercury as the standard. In comparison with the other samples we want to find the density Then the scale weighing with high resolution. Calculating density using relations D = M /, V density = mass (g) / V (mm / L).
Pycnometer can also be applied to solid samples such as soil ceramic as well. It by adding solid samples into. Pycnometer to weight of the soil. After adding water or liquid the density. (this liquid will not dissolve samples) and weighed. To make aware of the weight of the solids to replace water. And can calculate the specific gravity or density.
