Description
Must hydrometer according to Oechsle 0-120:1% is a specialised densitometer for determining the relative density of grape must on the Oechsle scale. The instrument spans 0-120 with 1% scale division and is calibrated at a reference temperature of 20 °C. Supplied without an integrated thermometer, it is intended for straightforward immersion measurements in oenological, beverage, and food-related laboratories. Readings support harvest decisions, fermentation monitoring, and quality control where must density is a key process parameter. This Oechsle must hydrometer from manufacturer Witeg is suited to wineries, research laboratories, and teaching facilities that require a classical glass hydrometer rather than electronic density meters. Offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,04 kg, the compact instrument is easy to handle during routine sampling. Clear graduation facilitates rapid assessment of must strength under controlled temperature conditions, making it a practical tool for analytical and production environments focused on grape and fruit must characterisation.

Questions about Must scale acc. to Oechsle 0-120:1%
What is this article?
Must scale acc. to Oechsle 0-120:1% is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg 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.
