Heavy Liquids Hydrometer, Specific Gravity and Baume

Description

The Heavy Liquids Hydrometer, also known as a heavy liquid specific gravity hydrometer or Baume hydrometer, is designed for measuring the density-related properties of compatible liquids heavier than water. This product range includes hydrometers for specific gravity and Baume measurement, supporting laboratory workflows where heavy liquid concentration or relative density needs to be checked. The Thimson option is listed as a straight-shape heavy liquids hydrometer with a combined range of 0 to 70 °Bé and 1.000 to 2.000 specific gravity, with a title reference to 270 mm long.

The Brannan / Brannon Baume hydrometer options are listed for liquids heavier than water, 250 mm long, and adjusted at 15.6°C, with soda glass, steel shot ballast and synthetic wax resin construction as listed. The supplied information also includes Baume ranges such as 0–30, 0–50, 0–70, 0–10 and 10–20, with divisions and accuracy varying by model. The supplied description mentions stainless steel construction, while the specifications list glass hydrometers, soda glass, steel shot ballast and synthetic wax resin. Users should confirm the final material before catalogue upload or procurement.

Users should confirm scale type, measuring range, brand, length, adjustment temperature, divisions, accuracy, sample temperature, cylinder size and chemical compatibility before ordering or 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 laboratory method. Glass hydrometers should be handled carefully. Avoid impact, dropping, sudden temperature change and contact with unsuitable chemicals that may affect the glass, ballast or resin.

Do not use broken or cracked hydrometers. If breakage occurs, follow approved glass cleanup and chemical spill procedures for the liquid being tested. This product is intended for laboratory or educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. This item is supplied as the selected Heavy Liquids Hydrometer only. Measuring cylinder, sample liquid, thermometer, calibration certificate, protective case, cleaning accessories, PPE and additional hydrometers are not included unless specified separately.

LabChoice Australia supplies Heavy Liquids Hydrometers and laboratory liquid measurement tools for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories, research facilities, industrial laboratories and general laboratory environments requiring practical instruments for heavy liquid specific gravity and Baume measurement.
