LEIMCO Specific Gravity Hydrometer – Analytical Application Series Plain Form Glass Hydrometer | General Purpose | Calibrated at 20°C

LEIMCO Specific Gravity Hydrometers from the Analytical Application Series are precision glass instruments designed for measuring the specific gravity of liquids at a reference temperature of 20°C. Their plain-form glass construction and clearly graduated scale make them suitable for routine laboratory, analytical and general-purpose liquid-density measurements.

Key Features

• Brand: LEIMCO

Principle of Operation

The hydrometer works on the buoyancy principle. When placed in a liquid, it floats at a level determined by the liquid's density. The specific-gravity value is read directly from the graduated stem at the appropriate reference temperature.

For density hydrometers referenced to 20°C, the indicated value corresponds to the liquid's density/specific gravity when the measurement is made at the specified reference temperature.

Applications

LEIMCO Specific Gravity Hydrometers are suitable for:

• Chemical laboratories
• Pharmaceutical laboratories
• Food & beverage testing
• Chemical processing
• Industrial laboratories
• Quality-control laboratories
• Educational institutions
• Research laboratories
• Liquid formulation and process control
• General liquid-density testing
• Raw-material inspection
• Production and QC applications

How to Use

1. Select a hydrometer with a suitable specific-gravity range.
2. Fill a clean hydrometer cylinder with the sample.
3. Allow the sample to reach approximately 20°C.
4. Gently lower the hydrometer into the liquid.
5. Ensure it floats freely without touching the cylinder walls or bottom.
6. Wait until the hydrometer becomes stable.
7. Read the scale at the appropriate liquid meniscus.
8. Record the specific-gravity value.

Important Selection Information

Please select the required specific-gravity range when ordering. LEIMCO offers multiple ranges, so the exact graduation/interval and catalogue number depend on the range required. Do not select a range solely on the basis of the sample's approximate density—choose a range that comfortably covers the expected measurement.

Care & Handling

• Handle the glass hydrometer carefully to prevent breakage.
• Use a clean hydrometer cylinder of sufficient height and diameter.
• Avoid contact with the cylinder wall and bottom during measurement.
• Clean and dry the instrument after use.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes.
• Store in protective packaging when not in use.
• Verify the reference temperature before taking measurements.
