    Thermometer

    Also known as hydrometers, these measure the density of a liquid compared to the density of water. Pour your liquid into a tall container and immerse the density meter into the liquid until it floats. Take the reading where the surface of the liquid touches the measurement unit on the meter. Heavy liquids sink in water and light liquids float in water.
    Specific Gravity Scale—Specific gravity is also known as relative density.
    Built-In Thermometer—Meters with a built-in thermometer help you correct for temperature variations for more accurate readings.

    Accurately measure the density and concentration of liquids—from salt water to battery acid—no calculating or reading scales required. These meters show readings immediately on their digital display. They only require 2 mL of liquid, less than half of a teaspoon, to take precise measurements. Switch between Specific Gravity, Brix, and other measurement units depending on your sample. These meters have an RFID interface, so you can quickly scan sample IDs on containers to identify liquids. They also have Bluetooth to send data wirelessly to your PC or printer. Store up to 1,200 readings, including sample IDs and time stamps, in their memory.
    To measure liquids, these meters come with a filling tube and multiple syringes. Dip the filling tube directly into your sample to draw up liquid, or use a syringe to transfer your sample to the meter.
    Designed for the field, these meters are IP54 rated, so they stand up to dust and splashing water.
