Description
The Sikes Hydrometers, also known as alcohol strength hydrometers or distillery hydrometers, are designed for measuring the strength of compatible alcohol samples in laboratory, distillery and technical testing workflows. These hydrometers are made from glass and are listed under the Thimson brand, with an approximate total length of 260 mm. Sikes hydrometers are commonly used in the alcohol and distillery industry to support alcohol strength measurement where the selected range, calibration temperature and testing method match the application.
The supplied information lists available measuring ranges from 0 to 20A, 0 to 20, 20 to 40, 40 to 60, 60 to 80 and 80 to 100, with a subdivision of 0.2 for each option. Calibration temperatures are listed as 51°F for selected ranges and 15°C for other ranges, so users should select the correct hydrometer according to the required method and temperature reference. Users should confirm measuring range, calibration temperature, sample temperature, alcohol testing method, certificate requirement, correction tables, cylinder size and regulatory suitability before ordering or use.
Where readings are required for excise, compliance, certification, trade or official alcohol-strength reporting, users should confirm the required certificate, standard and approved testing method before use. For reliable readings, use a clean hydrometer and a suitable measuring cylinder, allow the hydrometer to float freely, avoid contact with the cylinder wall and read the meniscus according to the approved alcohol testing method. Glass hydrometers should be handled carefully. Avoid impact, dropping, sudden temperature change and contact with unsuitable chemicals that may affect the glass or scale.
Do not use broken or cracked hydrometers. If breakage occurs, follow approved glass cleanup and liquid spill procedures for the sample being tested. This product is intended for laboratory, distillery, technical or educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. This item is supplied as the selected Sikes Hydrometer only. Measuring cylinder, alcohol sample, thermometer, correction tables, calibration certificate, protective case, PPE and additional hydrometers are not included unless specified separately.
LabChoice Australia supplies Sikes Hydrometers and laboratory liquid measurement tools for distilleries, food and beverage laboratories, teaching laboratories, research facilities and technical testing environments requiring practical instruments for alcohol strength measurement.
