A hydrometer consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with Mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. Mercury has a higher density, thus a lower volume for the same weight than lead. It is a toxic liquid metal, but also more dangerous and difficult to clear up the mess when a glass hydrometer is broken

What is a saccharometer?
A saccharometer is a hydrometer used to measure the sugar content of a liquid.
How does a hydrometer measure density?
It measured by the density of the size from the hydrometer.
Can we use a hydrometer to measure the density of milk?
Yes, we can use hydrometer to measure the density of milk. Explanation Hydrometer is a device which is used to measure the density of a liquid. Hydrometers are calibrated for different uses, such as a lactometer for measuring the density (creaminess) of milk, a saccharometer for measuring the density of sugar in a liquid, or an alcoholometer for measuring higher levels of alcohol in spirits
What is lactometerfor what purpose and in what industry is the lactometer used?
lactometer is one kind of hydrometer used to determined the purity as well as specific gravity of milk
What is a hydrogrometer?
An instrument for measuring the Density of a liquid. The density of the Acid in a car Battery, changes as the stored electrici charge in the battery, is used to power things. A Hydrometer is commonly used to measure the Acid Density in Lead/Acid car batteries. The result of the Hydrometer reading let's you know how much electric charge is left in the battery. It is most commonly used to find out whether or not, the battery is old and depleted, or still in good condition. Go to Wikipedia to find out what a Hydrometer looks like.
What does a hydrometer measure?
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
Why- The lower end of hydrometer is filled with mercury or lead?
The lower end of a hydrometer is filled with mercury or lead because these heavy metals have a high density. This allows the hydrometer to float vertically in a liquid and provide accurate measurements of its specific gravity or density. The heavy metal helps to counterbalance the weight of the stem and bulb of the hydrometer.
What device used to measure the strength of brine solution?
Salinometer
How is a barometer different than a hydrometer?
Barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. Hydrometer is used to measure specific gravity.
Why is the hydrometer used to find density?
A hydrometer can be used to find the specific gravity (relative density) of a liquid by determining how much water it will displace. Various calibrations are used for different kinds of liquids.
What caused the development of hydrometer?
A hydrometer is used to find the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids.
How can i use the word hydrometer in a sentence?
Mrs.Tuft used a hydrometer to determine the specific gravity of a liquid
What does the hydrometer measures?
a Hydrometer is used to measure the density of a solution, by the use of a scaled float. typically it is used for battery acid.
Role of hydrometer in determination of soil particle size?
hydrometer s used to check the acid in a dog's body
What is used to measure gravity and liquid?
hydrometer
What is the difference between a hydrometer a hygrometer and a thermometer?
a hygrometer is used to measure the amount of Condensation as well as evaporation and a hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity of liquids
Illustrate and label the parts of hydrometer?
An instrument used to measure the Specific Gravity (or Relative Density) of a liquid is called as a Hydrometer. It is the Ratio of the density of the liquid to the desnity of the fresh water (i.e. 1.000). The instrument consist of a glass chamber with Lead Shots or Mercury filled at the bottom or the base, to make it float upright.
