Results for tag: "Hydrometer"

A hydrometer is a laboratory equipment used to measure the relative density of a liquid. It is typically used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid, which is the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water. Hydrometers are commonly used in the food and beverage industry, as well as in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Hydrometers are typically made of glass and consist of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. The hydrometer is then placed in the liquid and the depth of the stem indicates the relative density of the liquid. The hydrometer market is a growing segment of the laboratory equipment industry. Hydrometers are used in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical. The demand for hydrometers is driven by the need for accurate measurements of the relative density of liquids. Some companies in the hydrometer market include Mettler Toledo, Ohaus, and Sartorius. These companies offer a wide range of hydrometers, from basic models to more advanced models with digital displays. Show Less Read more
