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:

  1. Ensure the hydrometer and the liquid are at the calibration temperature (20°C).
  2. Fill a clean container with enough liquid to allow the hydrometer to float freely without touching the sides or bottom.
  3. Gently immerse the hydrometer into the liquid and allow it to settle.
  4. Read the density value from the scale at the point where the liquid meets the hydrometer stem.
  5. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions or a temperature correction chart if using a temperature different from 20°C.
