Description
Density hydrometer type 8 is a laboratory instrument for measuring liquid density in the range from 1,120 to 1,180 g/cm³ with a scale division of 0,001 g/cm³. It measures 350 mm in length and is referenced to a calibration temperature of 20 °C. The hydrometer incorporates a thermometer covering 0 to +40 °C with 1 °C intervals and a red or blue special filling. Readings are taken at the lower meniscus (bottom reading). Supplied as 1 pc from manufacturer Amarell, this type 8 density hydrometer is suited to density determination tasks in laboratory environments. The combination of a fine density scale and an integrated thermometer enables density and temperature to be observed together during measurement. With its origin in Germany and the defined type 8 measuring window, the instrument addresses routine needs for density data on liquids in this elevated density band. Clear scale layout and the stated reference temperature support reproducible results in analytical and technical workflows that depend on accurate liquid density values.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type 8, 1,120-1,180:0,001g/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.
