Patent attributes
An underwater weighing container for measuring specific gravity, requiring relatively a small amount of reference liquids for measurement and offering wide space for mounting specimens to be measured are provided. The underwater weighing container includes a tubular body and a circular bottom plate. The tubular body has openings on both ends. One end has an introvert circular rim formed thereon and the other end has a plurality of stoppers attached to the internal surface thereof. The circular bottom plate has a mesh or a porous structure and is inserted between the circular rim and the stoppers. The underwater weighing container is immersed in a reference liquid, and a solid specimen is placed on or inserted underneath the bottom plate. The underwater weighing container is hung by means of a hanging member 13 to measure the weight of the solid specimen and determine the specific gravity.
