Description
Lactodensimeter according to Quevenne, 1,015–1,040 g/ml is a glass density instrument tailored to milk and similar opaque liquids. Unlike conventional hydrometers, it uses a scale matched to the milk measurement range, giving a more suitable readout for dairy density work. For opaque samples such as milk, the reading is taken above the meniscus. The instrument is calibrated at 20 °C and reports density in g/ml over the 1,015–1,040 g/ml interval. Overall length is 225 mm. Offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,020 kg from manufacturer Labbox, this Quevenne-type lactodensimeter is intended for laboratory and quality-control checks where a milk-adapted glass densimeter is required. A calibration certificate is not available. Compact glass construction and the dedicated scale support routine density determination of milk and comparable fluids under standard laboratory conditions at the stated calibration temperature.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Quevenne milk hydrometer, 1.015-1.040 g/ml
What is this article?
Quevenne milk hydrometer, 1.015-1.040 g/ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Hydrometers, inside Density & viscosity measurement, in Lab instruments.
A hydrometer floats in a liquid and the stem reading is the density or a related scale such as Brix. The liquid has to be at the temperature printed on the stem, or a correction is required. A chip on the stem changes the reading. One hydrometer does not cover every density.
Density is mass divided by volume. A hydrometer floats at a depth that depends on the density of the liquid. A pycnometer is a vessel of known volume that is weighed full. Viscosity is the resistance to flow. A capillary viscometer times how long a volume takes to fall through a tube. Both measurements need a stated temperature, because liquids change density and viscosity as they warm. The units trace to the BIPM and to NIST.
