The Boom Hydrometer (often referred to as a “Heavy Liquid” or “Baume” hydrometer) with a range of 1.000 to 2.000 is a specialized instrument used to measure the specific gravity or density of liquids heavier than water.
Key Specifications
Measurement Range: 1.000 – 2.000 Specific Gravity (Sp. Gr.).
Dual Scale: Often includes a Baume scale (0 – 70°Be) alongside specific gravity.
Design: Typically made of glass, approximately 11 inches (280mm) long, and loaded with iron shot to ensure it floats upright.
Accuracy: Graduation is usually in 0.010 increments.
Primary Uses
Industrial: Measuring the density of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and oil products.
Quality Control: Assessing the purity and composition of heavy or viscous liquids in manufacturing and research.
Laboratory & Home: Used for …
