Input
Lab-Class | Particle Density / Specific Gravity
To calculate the particle density, you must first select the standard from the Test_Method field on the Particle_Density / Specific_Gravity table that the specimen is being tested against. Once selected, click Save and the necessary data entry fields will be automatically highlighted to assist you in entering the relevant data for the selected test method.
Enter the test data in the data entry fields on the lower table and click Save or Ctrl+S to initiate the calculation and the average will be calculated in the upper table. If however you want to enter an assumed particle density value, check the box in the Assumed field and enter the assumed particle density value in the Particle_Density/Specific_Gravity field.
You may record multiple Particle Density test for the one specimen, and the Mean of each is recorded on the Particle_Density / Specific_Gravity (upper) table. You may exclude a particular test from the mean by checking the Exclude_From_Mean check box in the lower table.
The following examples show the required fields in the lower table for each selected standard.
