Description
Hydrometer according to Casagrande, DIN 18123 / BS 1377, 0,995-1,030:0,0005 g/cm³ is a precision glass instrument for density determination of soil suspensions and related liquids in geotechnical laboratories. It covers a measuring range from 0,995 to 1,030 g/cm³ with a fine scale division of 0,0005 g/cm³, supporting high-resolution readings required for particle-size analysis to the Casagrande method. The hydrometer has a total length of 350 mm and a body diameter of 30 mm and is supplied without an integrated thermometer. Measurements are referenced to 20 °C. The instrument is calibratable and includes a certificate of conformity. Produced by manufacturer Schneider, this model meets DIN 18123 and BS 1377 requirements for standardised soil testing. Clear graduation and stable construction make it suitable for routine density work in civil engineering, materials testing and quality-control laboratories. Supplied as a single piece ready for laboratory use.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Hydrometer acc. to Casagrande, DIN 18123 / BS 1377 0.995-1.030:0.0005 g/cm³
What is this article?
Hydrometer acc. to Casagrande, DIN 18123 / BS 1377 0.995-1.030:0.0005 g/cm³ is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Schneider 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.
