Description
Density hydrometer type 5 is intended for liquid density measurement in the interval 0,940–1,000 g/cm³ with a scale division of 0,001 g/cm³. The instrument is 350 mm long and referenced to 20 °C, giving a clear basis for comparable laboratory readings. It incorporates a thermometer from 0 to +40 °C graduated in 1 °C steps, using red or blue special filling so temperature can be observed during immersion. Density values are read at the lower meniscus. Available as a single piece from manufacturer Amarell, this type 5 hydrometer is suitable for quality control, formulation checks and research applications involving aqueous or near-aqueous media and other liquids whose densities lie in the upper part of the series range. Paired with lower-range types, it helps laboratories cover successive density windows with consistent instrument geometry and reading practice. The combination of fine division, stated reference temperature and on-board thermometer supports efficient density work when samples are handled close to 20 °C.

What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type 5, 0,940-1,000:0,001g/cm³, 350mm 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.
