Used in the chemistry, pharmacology, food and beverage, and starch industries to name a few, these dual scale, plain form hydrometers measure specific gravity / relative density (g/cmᶟ) of liquids lighter and heavier than water in various ranges and Baume in various ranges.
Features:
*Note: Hydrometers should be stored in a clean, dry, safe place, and should not be subjected to extreme temperatures.
A hydrometer measures the specific gravity of liquids. It looks at the ratio of the density of the liquid it is placed in compared to the density of water. They are usually made of a glass cylindrical stem adjoined to a weighted bulb which floats when placed in solution. By carefully placing your hydrometer in a sample of your solution you can take the measurement on the scale where it breaches...
The Baumé scale is a measure of a solution's specific gravity, not its concentration, you'll have to convert degrees Baumé to a specific gravity, and then use the specific gravity to look up the concentration of your solution from a table in a handbook. For example, the CRC handbook has tables that relate specific gravities to concentrations of various liquids. The French chemist Antoine Bau...
A hydrometer is an instrument that is made of glass and consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead to make it float upright. It is used to measure the Specific Gravity (SG) of liquids. In other words the ratio of density of the liquid to the density of water.The SG of water is 1.000 at 4°C. For example the lower the density of a substance the farther the h...
