Hydrometer Heavy and Light is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the relative density (specific gravity) of liquids. It consists of a sealed, calibrated glass tube with a weighted bulb at the bottom to ensure vertical floating. The “heavy” hydrometer is used for measuring denser liquids, while the “light” hydrometer is used for measuring less dense liquids. These instruments are essential in laboratories, industry, and education for determining concentration levels, purity, and solution characteristics across various fluid types. Each hydrometer is calibrated to float at a specific level based on the liquid’s density, making it a reliable tool for quick and accurate measurements.
Hydrometer Heavy and Light
Primary Uses
- Laboratory and Industrial Applications
- Measuring specific gravity of liquids in chemistry and physics labs.
- Determining concentration of solutions in industrial processes.
- Used in quality control of beverages, acids, bases, oils, and chemical solutions.
- Essential in battery testing for electrolyte density in automotive and industrial batteries.
- Applied in petroleum, dairy, and alcohol industries to assess product formulation.
Secondary Uses
- Educational and Environmental Applications
- Teaching fluid density, buoyancy, and Archimedes’ principle in academic settings.
- Used in soil and water laboratories to test salinity and nutrient solutions.
- Monitoring pollution levels or contamination in environmental fluid samples.
- Supporting research and development in formulation of new liquid products.
1.Basic Identification Attributes
- Material: Calibrated borosilicate glass
- Types: Heavy hydrometer (for dense liquids), Light hydrometer (for low-density liquids)
- Markings: Clearly printed scale for easy reading of specific gravity
2.Physical & Chemical Properties
