Description
Plastic hydrometer for specific gravity, 1,020–1,220:0,002, 60/60 °F is a sturdy plastic densimeter engineered for precise specific-gravity determinations in the indicated range. It measures from 1,020 to 1,220 specific gravity with 0,002 scale divisions and a tolerance of ±0,002 sp/gr, referenced to the 60/60 °F temperature standard. The instrument has an overall length of 300 mm and a body diameter of 20 mm, and it is calibratable for laboratory and industrial quality-control tasks. Plastic construction minimises breakage risk while preserving the buoyancy characteristics required for accurate floating readings. Typical uses include density checks on process fluids, chemical solutions and research samples where specific-gravity values in this interval are of interest. This model from manufacturer Schneider provides a practical, shock-resistant alternative to glass hydrometers and supports consistent measurements under the stated reference conditions without an integrated temperature probe. Clear scale markings and stable performance make it well suited for repeated specific-gravity assessments in routine laboratory workflows and production monitoring.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Plastic hydrometer for specific gravity, 1.020-1.220:0.002, 60/60 °F
What is this article?
Plastic hydrometer for specific gravity, 1.020-1.220:0.002, 60/60 °F is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Schneider 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.
