HYDROMETER INFO

Hydrometer is a glass body that dipped into the liquid. After a short equilibration time it will swim at a certain level (when the mass of the hydrometer is equal to the buoyancy force effect). The level of equilibration reads the density on the calibrated scale. Hydrometer need to calibrate at accredited laboratory or National Metrology Institute.

Hydrometer can measure the densities of a wide range of the liquid. Hydrometer usually used in petroleum industry, alcoholic drink, sugar solution and food industry. Hydrometer is a very important to industries because hydrometer can check the quality of the industry product. 

Calibration of a hydrometer by the sinker method : Calibration of a hydrometer by the sinker method is by observation of the reading of the floating hydrometer and a determination of the density of the liquid. A sinker of known mass and volume is hung from the balance.

Calibration of a hydrometer by the hydrostatic weighing method. (Cuckow's method): The hydrostatic weighing system weighed the hydrometers while they were partially immersed in the calibration liquid. A sinker was added to the hydrometers, which ranges were below than the density of the calibration liquid.

Calibration of a hydrometer by the comparison method : Calibration of a hydrometer by the comparison method is easier compare with other calibration of the hydrometer method. Calibration of a hydrometer by the comparison method is the most commonly employed for routine calibration. In calibration of a hydrometer by the comparison method, the hydrometer is calibrated by comparing its reading against the high precision standard hydrometer.
