Hydrometer (Density Meter) for Liquids With D<1
Product Code : SCL-CL-11467
Hydrometer (Density Meter) for Liquids With D<1 (SKU SCL-CL-11467) is a digital density meter for liquids heavier than water, with a measuring scale of 1000–2000 kg/m³. It shows the density of a sample in one procedure and can repeat measurements quickly, which suits physical chemistry practicals, college labs and training courses on liquid properties. Science Lab Supplies puts it on quotations from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The density meter's table covers range, display, sample temperature and construction. In short, it reads liquids heavier than water across 1000–2000 kg/m³ on a digital display, accepts samples from room temperature up to 100 °C in an easy-to-clean measurement cup and works under a windproof, dustproof cover.

Applications and Experiments for the Hydrometer for Liquids With D<1
Despite its name, this instrument is a digital density meter for liquids heavier than water, not a floating glass hydrometer for D<1. It measures the density of solutions such as salt, sugar or glycerol mixtures and supports density topics in Class 9–11 science, physical chemistry practicals and laboratory-technician training.
- Class 9 science: comparing the density of water with salt and sugar solutions prepared in a Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 100ml.
- Class 11 chemistry: relating the density of a solution to its concentration.
- College physical chemistry: measuring density at different sample temperatures up to 100 °C.
- Technician training: routine density checks, rinsing the measurement cup between samples with a Plastic Washing Bottle (Pisetta).
Handle samples warmer than room temperature with care and under supervision, and clean the measurement cup after each liquid so that one reading does not carry over into the next.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Hydrometer (Density Meter) for Liquids With D<1 is supplied as one digital density meter with its measurement cup and windproof, dustproof cover. Sample liquids, beakers and wash bottles are not included and can be added to the same quotation if required.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations are available for one density meter or for several units across a teaching lab. Every quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and the companion meter for liquids lighter than water or a density-cube set can be added to it as well.
Science Lab Supplies, a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, is able to ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. To compare the two density meters or request a price, write through the contact page, save both in the enquiry cart, or start a tender submission at the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a glass hydrometer for liquids lighter than water?
No. Despite the D<1 in its name, it is a digital density meter for liquids heavier than water, with a measuring scale of 1000 to 2000 kg/m³, which equals a relative density of 1.000 to 2.000.
How hot can the samples be?
Density values can be measured for samples from normal room temperature up to 100 °C. Hot liquids should be handled with tongs or heat-resistant gloves, and only under teacher or supervisor guidance.
Who supplies the Hydrometer (Density Meter) for Liquids With D<1?
Supply of this density meter is arranged by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, whose team quotes, packs and ships it for schools, colleges, contractors and distributors.
Which meter do I need for liquids lighter than water?
Choose the Hydrometer (Densitometer) for Liquids With D>1 in the same range. Despite its name, it covers 700 to 1000 kg/m³ for liquids lighter than water, so the two meters together span 700 to 2000 kg/m³.
