Applications
This hydrometer is ideal for use in industries such as food and beverage, chemical processing, pharmacology, and transportation, where precise measurement of liquid densities is essential.
Usage Guidelines
To ensure accurate measurements, immerse the hydrometer in the liquid sample at the standardized temperature of 60°F (15°C). Read the scale at the liquid’s surface level, ensuring the instrument is free from air bubbles and not in contact with the container’s sides.
Maintenance and Care
Handle the hydrometer with care to prevent breakage. After each use, clean it thoroughly with distilled water and allow it to air dry. Store the instrument in a protective case to maintain its accuracy and longevity.
