Hydrometers
Hydrometers measure the specific gravity of liquids or soil grains that are too fine for sieve analysis. The free floating device features a cylindrical stem with a ballast bulb bottom. Weighted with metal instead of lead or mercury, users simply read the graduated measurement at the meniscus. Optically clear for exact conclusions, hydrometers may come calibrated for specific tests. Range subdivisions and accuracy levels differ among the relative density analyzing instruments.
Wide-Range Specific Gravity Hydrometers
These wide range specific gravity hydrometers are ideal to use when you aren't sure of the approximate value of your liquid. These refractometers can also be used for measuring multiple liquids with different specific gravity amounts.
