Description
Hydrometer 20C – 1.0K – 2.0K, Heavy Liquids
This specialized hydrometer is designed for measuring the density of heavy liquids, typically those with a density range of 1.00kg/L to 2.00kg/L. Calibrated for use at a specific temperature of 20°C (68°F), it offers a precise and practical tool for various industrial and scientific applications.
Function:
A hydrometer is a buoyancy instrument that utilizes the principle of Archimedes’ Law. It essentially consists of a sealed glass tube with a weighted bulb at the bottom and a graduated scale along its stem. When placed in a liquid, the hydrometer floats at a level dependent on the liquid’s density. Denser liquids cause the hydrometer to float higher on the scale, while less dense liquids allow it to sink deeper.
Key Features:
- Density Range: This particular hydrometer is calibrated specifically for heavy liquids, with a range of 1.00kg/L to 2.00kg/L. This caters to various industrial applications dealing with heavy solutions or substances.
- Temperature Calibration: The instrument is designed for optimal accuracy at 20°C (68°F). For accurate measurements at other temperatures, temperature correction charts or specific gravity tables may be needed (depending on the model).
- Weighted Bulb: The weighted bulb ensures the hydrometer floats upright in the liquid.
- Graduated Scale: The scale on the stem indicates the liquid’s density based on the floating depth of the hydrometer.
Applications:
- Chemical Industry: Measuring the density of various industrial chemicals, cleaning solutions, and heavy solvents.
- Electroplating: Monitoring the concentration of electrolytes in electroplating baths.
- Automotive Industry: Checking the density of antifreeze and battery acid.
- Petroleum Industry: Determining the density of oils, lubricants, and fuels.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Measuring the sugar content of syrups, brines, and other solutions.
Benefits:
- Simple and Easy to Use: The hydrometer offers a quick and user-friendly method for density measurement.
- Precise Measurement (at 20°C): When used at the calibrated temperature, this instrument provides accurate density readings within its specified range.
- Portable and Versatile: The compact design makes it a portable tool for various on-site measurements.
- Cost-Effective: Hydrometers are a relatively inexpensive solution for density measurement compared to some electronic alternatives.
Using a hydrometer:
- Ensure the hydrometer and the liquid are at the calibration temperature (20°C).
- Fill a clean container with enough liquid to allow the hydrometer to float freely without touching the sides or bottom.
- Gently immerse the hydrometer into the liquid and allow it to settle.
- Read the density value from the scale at the point where the liquid meets the hydrometer stem.
- Consult the manufacturer’s instructions or a temperature correction chart if using a temperature different from 20°C.
