Product details
Description
The H-B Instrument Plain-Form Polycarbonate Hydrometer is engineered for precise specific gravity measurements in demanding industrial and laboratory environments. Built from optical-grade polycarbonate, this shatterproof instrument eliminates the safety hazards and replacement costs associated with traditional glass hydrometers during rough handling.
It features a specific gravity range of 1.400 to 1.620 with a 0.002 division, calibrated to a standard temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or 15 degrees Celsius. Each unit is individually serialized and includes a multi-language statement of accuracy along with a reliable metal ballast secured with wax epoxy.
Designed for liquids heavier than water, this durable tool ensures dependable density analysis while maintaining high performance standards in professional workplaces. Please note that polycarbonate construction is not recommended for use with petroleum-based liquids or corrosive chemicals.
How to use
- Submerge the hydrometer gently into the liquid sample until it floats freely.
- Ensure the liquid is at the standard calibration temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit or 15 degrees Celsius.
- Read the specific gravity value at the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.
- Use a separate thermometer to verify liquid temperature as this is a plain-form hydrometer without a built-in thermometer.
Ingredients
Optical-quality polycarbonate body, metal ballast, wax epoxy sealant.

FAQs
What is a hydrometer used to measure?
A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity or relative density of liquids based on the concept of buoyancy. It is commonly used in industrial, laboratory, and brewing applications to determine fluid density compared to water.
What are the two types of hydrometers?
Hydrometers are generally classified into plain-form hydrometers, which require a separate thermometer for temperature correction, and combination hydrometers, which feature a built-in thermometer for simultaneous readings.
How do you read a polycarbonate hydrometer correctly?
To read the hydrometer, place it in a transparent container filled with the liquid so it floats without touching the sides. Read the measurement at the bottom of the liquid meniscus aligned with your eye level.
Are these H-B Instrument hydrometers authentic USA imports available in India?
Yes, this product is an authentic USA-imported H-B Instrument item sourced directly from the United States and brought to Indian customers through Dropy.
Can this hydrometer be used with all types of liquids?
No, polycarbonate hydrometers are durable and shatterproof, but they are not recommended for use with petroleum-based liquids or aggressive corrosives that can damage plastic materials.
