Description
Thermolactodensimeter according to Quevenne, 1,015–1,040 g/ml with 0,001 g/ml scale division is a glass instrument for simultaneous density and temperature assessment of milk and other opaque liquids. Compared with ordinary hydrometers, the lactodensimeter scale is adapted to the milk range for a more appropriate reading. The thermometer scale sits at the top of the device so temperature can still be observed despite milk opacity; density is read above the meniscus. Calibrated at 20 °C, it indicates both °C and g/ml. Measuring range is 1,015–1,040 g/ml at 0,001 g/ml resolution; length is 250 mm. Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 0,053 kg from manufacturer Labbox, this combined thermo-lactodensimeter supports dairy and laboratory density checks where temperature context matters. A calibration certificate is not available. Glass construction and the dual scale layout suit routine Quevenne-type milk density work under standard bench conditions.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Quévenne milk thermo-hydrometer, 1.015-1.040 g/ml: 0.001 g/ml
What is this article?
Quévenne milk thermo-hydrometer, 1.015-1.040 g/ml: 0.001 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.
