Beschrijving
Urinometer, large model with glass cylinder is a classic laboratory instrument for determining the specific gravity of urine samples. The large-format design incorporates a dedicated glass cylinder that accommodates the floating urinometer spindle and provides a clear viewing path for scale reading. This configuration supports straightforward density measurements in clinical, veterinary and teaching laboratories where rapid assessment of urine concentration is required. The complete assembly from manufacturer Hecht offers a traditional, purely mechanical approach without electronic components, making it suitable for environments that prefer simple glassware-based methods. Supplied as one piece, the large model is intended for routine sample volumes and everyday bench use. The glass cylinder ensures chemical resistance to typical urine matrices and easy cleaning between determinations. Users benefit from the stable floating behaviour of the urinometer within the cylinder, allowing consistent readings under standard laboratory conditions. This instrument belongs to the broader category of miscellaneous laboratory materials and remains a practical choice for facilities that maintain conventional specific-gravity workflows alongside modern analysers.
This article is part of Hydrometers, in Density & viscosity measurement.

Questions about Urinometer, large model with glass jar
What is this article?
Urinometer, large model with glass jar is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht for laboratory use. It sits in Hydrometers, inside Density & viscosity measurement, in Instrumenten.
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.
