8、Solids, Liquids, and Gases33. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is useful in calculating percent airvoids as given in Test Method D 3203. Since specific gravityhas no units, it must be converted to density when this type ofmeasurement is required. This conversion is made by multi-plying the s
9、pecific gravity at a given temperature by the densityof water at the same temperature.4. Apparatus4.1 Balance, with ample capacity, and with sufficient sensi-tivity to enable bulk specific gravities to the specimens to becalculated to at least four significant figures, that is, to at leastthree deci
10、mal places. It shall be equipped with a suitableapparatus to permit weighing the specimen while it is sus-pended in water. The balance shall conform to SpecificationD 4753 as a class GP2 balance.4.1.1 Since there are no more significant figures in thequotient (bulk specific gravity) than appear in e
11、ither thedividend (the mass of the specimen in air) or in the divisor (thevolume of the specimen, obtained from the difference in massof the specimen in air and in water), this means that the balancemust have a sensitivity capable of providing both mass andvolume values to at least four figures. For
12、 example, a sensi-tivity of 0.1 g would provide four significant figures for thedetermination of a mass in the range from 130.0 to 999.9 gwhen the specific gravity is 2.300.4.2 Water Bath, for immersing the specimen in water whilesuspended, equipped with either an overflow outlet for main-taining a
