About Soil Hydrometer

Specification:

Used for grain size analysis of soils where more than 10% of the material will pass through 75 microns B.S. sieve. Manufactured from clear transparent glass having uniform clarity throughout the upper end on which density scale is engraved. The scale range is 0.995 to 1.030 density (gms./cc) at 270C smallest division on the scale is 0.0005.
Note: Hydrometer for other liquids also available.

High Accuracy Soil Analysis

This hydrometer delivers precise measurement with a resolution of 0.0005 G/ml and an accuracy of 0.001 G/ml. Designed for laboratory-based soil particle size analysis, it offers a graduated range from 0.995 to 1.030 G/ml, making it reliable for standard-compliant testing. The calibrated stem ensures trustworthy results for environmental and geotechnical studies.

Safe and Durable Construction

Manufactured from premium borosilicate glass, this hydrometer is both mercury and lead-free, ensuring operator safety and environmental friendliness. Its chemical-resistant, washable design ensures longevity and easy maintenance. The device is protected in an individual hard case, making it portable and secure during transport or storage.

User-Friendly Manual Operation

Engineered for manual immersion and control, this soil hydrometer is simple to use. It is suitable for single sample analysis (recommended 500 ml suspension) and responds within seconds after immersion. The clear glass graduations on the stem provide fast, straightforward readings, meeting the needs of laboratories across India.

FAQ's of Soil Hydrometer:

Q: How is the Soil Hydrometer used for soil particle size analysis?

A: To perform soil particle size analysis, simply prepare a soil suspension (typically 500 ml), immerse the hydrometer to submersion up to the calibrated stem, and read the density directly from the graduated scale. This process, following ASTM D422 or IS 2720 Part 4, provides accurate and rapid measurements for laboratory soil testing.

Q: What are the benefits of using a mercury-free, borosilicate glass hydrometer?

A: Using a mercury-free, lead-free hydrometer made from borosilicate glass enhances laboratory safety, environmental friendliness, and chemical resistance. Its robust construction and washability also ensure longevity, while the lack of toxic materials makes disposal and handling safer for all users.

Q: When should the hydrometer be calibrated or checked for accuracy?

A: The hydrometer comes calibrated and traceable to national standards, but it's advisable to verify calibration regularly-especially if the device is subjected to heavy use, rough handling, or visible damage. Regular checks maintain measurement precision and compliance with international soil testing standards.

Q: Where is this soil hydrometer primarily used?

A: This hydrometer is commonly utilized in soil mechanics laboratories, environmental research institutes, civil engineering labs, and educational settings throughout India, serving dealers, distributors, manufacturers, and more for reliable soil particle size analysis.

Q: What is the recommended process for cleaning and maintaining the hydrometer?

A: After each use, gently wash the hydrometer with a mild laboratory detergent and rinse thoroughly with distilled water to prevent contamination. Its chemical-resistant borosilicate glass body makes routine cleaning easy and helps preserve measurement accuracy.

Q: Can this hydrometer be used in a wide range of environmental conditions?

A: Yes, the hydrometer operates reliably in humidity conditions ranging from 0-100% RH and temperatures between 10-40C. Its durable construction allows consistent performance in diverse laboratory environments.
