Light liquid Hydrometer- 0.700-1.00
Key Features:
-
Range: Measures specific gravity from 0.700 to 1.000, ideal for substances like alcohol solutions, solvents, kerosene, and light oils.
-
Scale divisions: Usually marked in increments of 0.005 or 0.01 SG.
-
Function: The hydrometer floats higher in denser liquids and lower in lighter ones. The point where the liquid surface touches the scale is the reading.
-
Applications: Commonly used in laboratories, chemical processing, petroleum industries, and educational settings.
Usage:
To use it, the hydrometer is gently lowered into a sample liquid (often in a tall cylinder). The reading is taken at the meniscus level where the liquid surface meets the scale.
