Description
Density hydrometer type 17 is a precision instrument for determining liquid density in the measuring range 1,660 to 1,720 g/cm³ with a fine scale division of 0,001 g/cm³. The glass hydrometer is 160 mm long and calibrated to a reference temperature of 20 °C, enabling consistent density readings under standard laboratory conditions. It is supplied without an integrated thermometer and is designed for bottom reading, supporting clear observation of the meniscus during measurement. This type 17 model from manufacturer Amarell is suited to routine density and specific-gravity checks on denser liquids within its stated span in analytical, quality-control and process laboratories. The compact length facilitates use in standard hydrometer cylinders while the 0,001 g/cm³ graduation supports resolved readings across the full scale. Offered as a single piece, the instrument is intended for careful handling and application according to established hydrometer practice for liquids in the upper density range.

What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type 17, 1,660-1,720:0,001g/cm³, 160mm long, reference is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Amarell 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.
