Product Details
The hydrometer is a crucial tool popular in the fishing and shipping industries for determining the apparent density of sea and fresh water, which aids in calculating the cargo capacity of bulk carrying vessels. It features a measurement range of 0.990 to 1.040 kg/l and has a length of 330mm (13"). Constructed with lead-free ballast and glass, each hydrometer is individually serialized and undergoes hand inspection by a U.S. quality team. The device is standardized at a temperature of 15°C and comes packaged with a multi-language statement of accuracy that includes English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, ensuring its accuracy is traceable to NIST. For optimal performance, it is recommended to store the hydrometer in a clean, dry, and safe location, avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures.
