Description
Baumé hydrometer 0-5:0,1 without thermometer is a laboratory density instrument for determining liquid density on the Baumé scale within a low-range window. The scale covers 0 to 5 °Bé and is graduated in 0,1 steps, giving fine resolution for dilute solutions and other light liquids handled in analytical and process work. Overall length is 260 mm, so the glass body fits standard hydrometer cylinders while remaining stable when floating. The instrument is supplied without an integrated thermometer, allowing temperature measurement and any required correction to be performed with a separate thermometer matched to the laboratory protocol. This model from manufacturer Witeg is offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,033 kg and originates from Germany. In use, the hydrometer is immersed in the sample until it reaches equilibrium; the Baumé value is then read at the liquid meniscus. The narrow measuring span concentrates scale resolution where small density differences matter, while the simple construction without a built-in thermometer keeps the device versatile across multi-temperature workflows and routine relative-density checks in chemical and industrial laboratories.

Questions about Density areometer according to Baumé 0-5:0.1
What is this article?
Density areometer according to Baumé 0-5:0.1 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.
