Description
Specific gravity hydrometer spanning 1,000–1,200 sp gr with a fine 0,002 sp gr division is intended for relative-density measurement of liquids denser than water. At 300 mm overall length and without an integrated thermometer, the instrument relies on external temperature control matched to its reference conditions of 28,9/28,9 °C (84 °F). Readings are taken at the bottom of the meniscus, which supports reproducible observation once the hydrometer floats freely in a suitable measuring cylinder. This simple-quality unit from manufacturer Amarell is supplied as a single piece for laboratory density work, incoming-goods checks, and process monitoring where a dedicated higher specific-gravity range is required. The clear scale layout focuses solely on density, making the instrument easy to use alongside separate thermometers already present on the bench. Ensure adequate sample volume for stable immersion and allow thermal equilibration before recording the value. Suitable for transparent liquids in which the scale remains clearly visible during flotation.

Questions about Specific Gravity hydrometer, 1,000-1,200:0,002 sp gr, 300mm long, reference
What is this article?
Specific Gravity hydrometer, 1,000-1,200:0,002 sp gr, 300mm 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.
