Therefore, the loss in its The hydrostatic weighing apparatus is a first- apparent mass is the mass of fluid displaced by the level method used to measure the density of solids body. In this method, the immersed body is and liquids. At the Portuguese Institute for Quality commonly known as “sinker”. The buoyancy force, the hydrostatic tests for the determination of the B, can be calculated as follows: liquids’ density implies the multiple manual 𝐵 = 𝜌 𝑉 𝑔 (1) L S placement of a set of standard substitution weights -3 on apparatus’ balance pan, leading to undesirable where 𝜌 is the density of the liquid, in kg m , 𝑉 L S perturbations in the weighing environment.
