ight (or Density) Test. For this tet, specimens of some
‘regular solid shape are preferable whose dimensions are measured
with the help ofeallipers and measuring scale ee. to find out their
‘olumes. Then the weights ofthe specimens are found out with the
help ofa balance. From these values calculate density (welght pe unt
volume) ofthe specimens. Diferent metals and alloys possees their
‘pete values of density whic hep to identify them.
