What instrument is used for density?
hydrometer
hydrometer, device for measuring some characteristics of a liquid, such as its density (weight per unit volume) or specific gravity (weight per unit volume compared with water).
What are the three instruments that can be used to determine density?
Instruments Used To Measure Density
- Density and Specific Gravity Instruments – Portable Density Meter – Handheld Density Meter, Densito.
- Density and Specific Gravity Instruments – Portable Density Meter – Handheld Density Meter, DensitoPro.
What instruments are needed in measuring density of solids?
The measurement of density in solids is done using a weight and the volume of a sample. The weighing device used by densimeters determines weight and volume by calculating the displacement of liquid caused by a sample that generates displacement within a liquid.
Which instrument is used to measure the density of milk?
Lactometer
Lactometer is a hydrometer instrument that is used to check for the purity of milk by measuring milk’s density; usually it works on the principle of gravity of milk.
What is the instrument used to measure volume?
Liquid volume is usually measured using either a graduated cylinder or a buret. As the name implies, a graduated cylinder is a cylindrical glass or plastic tube sealed at one end, with a calibrated scale etched (or marked) on the outside wall.
What instrument do you use to measure volume?
Which instrument is used to measure the volume of a solid?
Measuring jar, scale, vernier calipers are used to measure the volume of an object. If the object is irregular, measuring jar is used and volume is measured by displacement method. If the object is regular its dimensions are measured using either scale or vernier calipers and volume is calculated.
Which tools can you use to measure volume?
Tools Used to Measure the Volume of a Liquid
- Beakers and Flasks. Beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks can be used to make coarse measurements of volumes, provided that graduated volume levels are printed on the side of the beaker or flask (not all beakers and flasks have these marks).
- Graduated Cylinders.
- Burets.
- Pipets.
