Description
Density hydrometer type L20-084 is a precision instrument for liquid density determination over the narrow span 0,8400–0,8600 g/cm³ with a scale division of 0,0002 g/cm³. Built to DIN 12791 and similar to BS 718, it offers an accuracy of ±1 scale division and is intended for laboratory and process density checks where fine resolution within this window is required. The glass hydrometer is 430 mm long, referenced to 20 °C, supplied without a thermometer, and read at the lower meniscus. It is calibratable, supporting traceable verification in quality-controlled environments. Available as a single piece from manufacturer Amarell, the instrument suits density measurements on liquids that fall inside the stated range. Its fine graduation and defined reference temperature help operators obtain clear, repeatable readings when working with solvents, oils or other fluids in the 0,8400–0,8600 g/cm³ interval. The combination of DIN-aligned construction, bottom reading and calibratability makes type L20-084 a practical choice for analytical benches and routine density control.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Density hydrometer, type L20-084, DIN 12791/similar to BS 718,
What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type L20-084, DIN 12791/similar to BS 718, 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.
