Overview

Hydrometers are instruments used to measure the density or specific gravity of liquids. They are commonly used in industries such as brewing, winemaking, and laboratory settings to determine the alcohol content, sugar level, or other properties of a liquid. Hydrometers typically consist of a glass tube with a weighted bulb that floats in the liquid being measured.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying a hydrometer?

Consider the type of liquid you need to measure, as different hydrometers are calibrated for different substances. Check the measurement range and ensure it suits your specific needs.

How do I safely ship a hydrometer?

Hydrometers are fragile and should be packed securely in protective packaging, such as bubble wrap or foam. Use a sturdy box and mark it as 'Fragile' to ensure careful handling during transit.

What is the proper way to maintain a hydrometer?

Rinse the hydrometer with distilled water after each use to prevent residue buildup. Store it in a protective case to avoid damage. Periodically check for any cracks or damage that could affect accuracy.
