Description
Specific gravity hydrometer for the range 1,500–2,000 sp gr is a glass laboratory instrument used to determine the relative density of liquids against a defined scale. It offers a scale division of 0,005 sp gr over a body length of 285 mm, giving a practical resolution for denser media while remaining convenient to handle at the bench. The instrument is referenced to 28,9/28,9 °C (84 °F) and is supplied without an integrated thermometer, so temperature is controlled or measured separately according to the method in use. Reading is taken at the bottom of the meniscus once the hydrometer has stabilised in the sample. This simple-quality design from manufacturer Amarell is intended for routine specific-gravity checks where a clear, elevated-range scale is required without additional onboard sensors. Supplied as a single piece, it supports density characterisation of liquid samples in research, quality control and process laboratories. The 285 mm length balances immersion depth with readability of the 1,500–2,000 sp gr window, and the bottom-reading layout promotes consistent observation under standard laboratory lighting and sample conditions.

Questions about Specific Gravity hydrometer, 1,500-2,000:0,005 sp gr, 285mm long, reference
What is this article?
Specific Gravity hydrometer, 1,500-2,000:0,005 sp gr, 285mm 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.
