Hydrometers News
A laboratory hydrometer is a precision instrument used to measure the density or specific gravity of liquids. Commonly employed in scientific research, chemical analysis, brewing, and industrial quality control, hydrometers provide accurate readings to help determine liquid composition, concentration, and purity. Typically constructed from glass with a weighted bulb and a graduated scale, the hydrometer floats upright in the sample, with the liquid level indicating its specific gravity. Easy to use and highly reliable, hydrometers are essential for laboratories requiring consistent, repeatable measurements in processes such as fermentation monitoring, chemical formulation, and environmental testing. Their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and precision make them a preferred choice for a wide range of analytical applications.
