Description
Density hydrometer type 9 covers the liquid density interval 1,180–1,240 g/cm³ at a scale division of 0,001 g/cm³, giving clear stepwise readings for higher-density samples. With an overall length of 160 mm and calibration referenced to 20 °C, the instrument supports standardised laboratory density work under controlled temperature conditions. It is delivered without a built-in thermometer, leaving temperature management to the user’s external setup or bath. Bottom reading (lower meniscus) aligns with established hydrometer reading conventions for reliable observation. Applications include chemical and industrial process checks, formulation control, quality laboratories and practical training where denser media fall inside this scale. The short format fits common measuring cylinders and keeps handling straightforward at the bench. This type 9 density hydrometer from manufacturer Amarell is supplied as one piece, suitable for equipping individual stations or maintaining spare instruments. The 0,001 g/cm³ graduation resolves small density differences across the 1,180–1,240 g/cm³ range, while the fixed 20 °C reference simplifies documentation against reference data. Select it when a compact, thermometer-free density hydrometer is needed for routine higher-range density determination.

Questions about Density hydrometer, type 9, 1,180-1,240:0,001g/cm³, 160mm long, reference
What is this article?
Density hydrometer, type 9, 1,180-1,240:0,001g/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.
