Description
Hydrometer for soil samples 0,995–1,030:0,0005 is a laboratory density instrument for soil sample analysis according to the Casagrande method. It covers a measuring range of 0,995 to 1,030 with a scale division of 0,0005, supporting precise density readings in soil suspensions used for geotechnical characterisation. The hydrometer is referenced to 20 °C and follows DIN 18123 for soil testing practice. It is supplied without a thermometer, so temperature control or a separate thermometer can be applied according to the laboratory procedure in use. Offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,132 kg from manufacturer Witeg, the instrument suits environmental, civil-engineering, and soil laboratories that perform sedimentation-based soil analysis. Graduation over the stated interval allows operators to record hydrometer values during routine measurement series. The pack size of 1 pc simplifies ordering for individual benches or as a replacement within an existing set. Intended for professional soil laboratory workflows, this Aräometer-type device addresses the density range commonly required for Casagrande soil sample evaluation under DIN 18123.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Areometer for soil samples 0.995-1.030:0.0005
What is this article?
Areometer for soil samples 0.995-1.030:0.0005 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg 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.
