Simple method to determine specific gravity or particle density

Thanks

whats the units of measurement for its spesific weight ?

Amazing video, very clear information. Can’t remember we did much calculation with this method on high school sadly.

OMG I was struggling with measurement of stones that do not fit into graduated cylinder for so long. This is awesome, thank you!

Can I use this method to find the density of wood that floats?

why bother using cubic centimeters??? just get the dry weight of the object then divide by the water displacement weight.

to me this looks like black magic. how does the scale register the weight if the object is suspended bo something outside the scale? does the string itself interfere with the reading?

how to calculate porosity of fiber reinforced polymer composite

So Desnsity is exactly specific gravity, they are all the same am I right?
Density = mass ÷ volume.

Horrible, shaky, needs to be redone.

Vol. Of water?

this totaly wrong.. Your stone 36.2 and u are put in water it is coming 14 that is impossible.. you are hold stone weight

the water weight is often too heavy for many jewel scales, because your goal is just to get the weight difference of the rock in air and in water, you do not need to put water container on the scale. You need to smartly use the jewel scale in a "spring scale" way. that is, you need to hang the rock to the scale. To do this, move water container to underneath the scale, use a metal hook to hook on the center of the scale, the hook's lower end will be right underneath the scale so that you can hang the rock on it to merge into water container (if you form the wire a heart shape, you put the scale in the heart, that's it). How to make water container go under the scale? of course, you can use your hand palm to hold the scale above the water (I use a 2"x3" x 2' long wood beam to hang out of table)

Nice one

Thanks alot, solved it for me by hanging thread👍🏻

brother saya memiliki sebuah batu dan saya melakukan ukuran ke padatan sama seperti ini

Hello.thank you for sharing this clip .i have a question , dose this method work for a small rough or gem? .i mean around one or 2 carats ?thanks

Very clear thanks.sir.
What is this norm ..ASTM ....¿?

it is not understood how your scale directly gave the weight=volume of displaced water=volume of suspended object. Is the scale has anything special?

whats the name of this watch

@DrDirtSoilVideos So doesn't the string itself effect the results? I've seen people use these types of wire cages and they make sure and tar it with the wire cage first to be more percise. Am I correct in assuming the string itself is so small that the difference in results would be almost negligible?

Good method

Thanks that's a cool tip!

can I use this method to determine the specific gravity of potatoes

36.5/(36.5-14.2)

finally clear sir thanks

i think water displacement method gives us better result then suspending method. Almost all the mineral gives a sg value around 2.5 to 2.9

simple and nice

Great! Thanks.
Simple and effective video.

Specific gravity is unitless.

That was clear, concise, and wonderful to follow. Thank You!
