Solution:

 Place your mouse cursor in the field and press F1 on the keyboard. After the help appears, scroll down the listing and select the hyperlink for "Fluid Density Factor"

You should have a clear understanding on how this setting will affect the analysis set. 

Question: Would that double the increase in fluid density for static loads? 

Answer:

No. it is a multiplier! With this setting, one can run multiple scenarios considering different weight of contents in the pipe without having to reconfigure all the pipe properties.
