Description
Density hydrometer type 8 measures liquid density from 1,120 to 1,180 g/cm³ with a scale division of 0,001 g/cm³, providing fine resolution for samples in this elevated density band. The instrument is 160 mm long and referenced to 20 °C, allowing consistent comparison with density tables and standard methods that use the same base temperature. It is supplied without a thermometer, so temperature control or external measurement can be arranged according to the laboratory protocol. Bottom reading supports unambiguous meniscus observation during immersion. This type 8 hydrometer is well suited to chemical processing, formulation work, quality control and teaching environments where denser liquids must be checked quickly and repeatably. The compact length suits ordinary cylinders and sample containers while remaining convenient for handheld use. Manufactured by Amarell, the unit is available as a single piece for bench stocking or replacement. Graduations at 0,001 g/cm³ steps help operators track small density shifts within the 1,120–1,180 g/cm³ window. Choose this model when a dedicated density scale without integrated thermometry is required for routine monitoring, process checks or educational density experiments.

What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type 8, 1,120-1,180:0,001g/cm³, 160mm 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.
