How to measure the melcor epoxy using the old torsion balance in 510:
We don't have an electronic scale in 510, so here is how you do it using
the balance, which has a scale that only goes up to 1.0 grams:
- Level and zero the balance, using the two front legs: rotate in the
same direction for level (indicator on the right), and in opposite
directions for zero.
- With scissors, cut down a cup to match exactly the weight of the one
that's there.
- on one side, add 2.5 grams, using the paper weights
- on the other side, add part A of the epoxy, keeping it on one side of
the cup. Use the stainless steel spatula.
- Clean the spatula.
- add another 2.5 grams of paper weights
- add 2.5 g of part B, keep it on the opposite side of the cup
- mix and clean up.
