Known as a hygrometer. May be as simple as a few beads of differing specific gravity in a glass tube with a rubber bulb on top or a complex electronic device that determines specific gravity through measurement of other characteristics. A battery hygrometer uses floating beads to determine the charge of a lead acid battery because the specific gravity of the electrolyte will vary for a given state of charge.

If the specific gravity of diesel is zero point 86 how many litres are in 1 cubic meter and how is this calculated?

Converting cubic meters into liters has nothing to do with the substance being measured (e.g. diesel). Both are measurements of volume, and one cubic meter is always equal to one thousand liters:1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters Specific Gravity is the weight of a certain amount of a substance compared with the weight of an equal amount of pure water. In other words, we know that one gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds, and so to find the weight of one gallon of a substance with a specific gravity of 0.86 one would simply multiply as follows:8.34 x 0.86 = 7.1724 poundsHere are instructions for finding the weight of one cubic meter (one thousand liters) of a substance having a specific gravity of 0.86:First, convert one cubic meter into gallons, because we already know the weight of water per gallon:1 cubic meter = 264.172051 US gallonsNext, find the weight of one cubic meter (264.172051 gallons) of water:264.172051 x 8.34 = 2,203.19491 pounds (This is the weight of one cubic meter of water)Finally, use the specific gravity of the substance in question (0.86) to find its weight in comparison to that of the water:2,203.19491 x 0.86 = 1,894.74762 pounds (This is the weight of one cubic meter of diesel assuming that its specific gravity is 0.86)
