Description
Density hydrometer type L50-165 is a precision glass instrument for measuring liquid density over the range 1,650–1,700 g/cm³ with a scale division of 0,0005 g/cm³. Built to DIN 12791 and BS 718, it offers an accuracy of ±1 scale division and supports clear, repeatable readings in routine laboratory and process work. The hydrometer is 335 mm long, referenced to 20 °C, supplied without a thermometer, and designed for bottom reading so the scale can be observed cleanly at the liquid meniscus. It is calibratable, making it suitable where traceable density determination is required. Offered as a single piece from manufacturer Amarell, this L50-165 model is intended for density checks on liquids whose specific gravity falls within the stated interval. Typical use includes quality control, analytical sample characterisation and process monitoring whenever a fine-resolution density scale and standardised construction are needed. The combination of a narrow measuring span, fine graduation and defined reference temperature helps laboratories obtain consistent density values under controlled conditions without integrated temperature indication on the stem.

Questions about Density hydrometer, type L50-165, DIN 12791/BS 718, 1,650-1,700:0,0005g/cm³,
What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type L50-165, DIN 12791/BS 718, 1,650-1,700:0,0005g/cm³, 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.
