 Instructions for Density with heating

PROCEDURE:

1. Pour a small quantity of water into the heater assuring that the glass tube is
completely surrounded by water when filled with oil.

2. Fill the glass tube with oil to be tested to approx. 2 cm under the top of the glass
tube.

3. Insert the tube into the heater and turn the heater on.

4. Insert the appropriate hydrometer and the thermometer and let it settle till the
measuring temperature of 50°C is reached.

5. Read the meters and convert the found density to that at 15°C using the Shell
Bunker Calculator on floppy disc, the Graph or Petroleum Tables 53B

WARNING ! :

DO NOT TOUCH THE HEATER MANTLE WHEN IN OPERATION, ALTHOUGH

THE EXTERIOR OF THE HEATER IS MADE FROM TEFLON, IT CAN BE HOT.
WAIT UNTIL COOLED DOWN BEFORE REMOVING THE OVEN.
