DETERMINING PERCENT SOLIDS:
If you know the specific gravity of dry solids in the pulp (see Determining the Specific Gravity of Dry Solids), you can directly read the percentage in the pulp on the dial.
Select the correct dial face for the particular dry solid specific gravity in the pulp. Hang the filled container on the scale.
The percent solids in the pulp reads clockwise from the specific gravity number on the red, white and yellow rings of the dial face.
Example: A reading of 44% solids at 2.2 specific gravity also reads 39% solids at 2.6 specific gravity and 35% solids at 3.2 specific gravity.
DETERMINING PULP SPECIFIC GRAVITY:
Hang the filled container on the scale and read the pulp specific gravity on the outer ring of the dial face. |
