Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1
Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1 (Product Code: SCI-877/012) is a density-measuring instrument used to find the relative density of liquids lighter than water in school, college and testing laboratories. Teachers and technicians use it for liquids whose relative density (d) is below 1, such as alcohol–water mixtures, oils and light solvents. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry lab instruments supplier.

What Is the Aerometer for Light Liquids Used For?
An aerometer measures density by buoyancy: in its classic form, a weighted float sinks until it displaces its own weight of liquid, so it sinks deeper in a lighter liquid and the reading is taken where the surface meets its scale. The value d compares a liquid's density with that of water, so any liquid with d below 1 is lighter than water. An instrument for this range lets students compare alcohol–water mixtures, check oils and light solvents, and see Archimedes' principle at work.
Use a clean, tall cylinder wide enough for the instrument to float freely without touching the walls, and note the liquid temperature, because density changes as a liquid warms or cools. Rinse and dry the aerometer after each liquid so that one sample does not contaminate the next. Keep flammable liquids such as alcohol away from flames while measuring, and store the instrument where it cannot roll or fall.
What to Specify When Ordering
- That you need the version for liquids with d less than 1; denser liquids need the d greater than 1 aerometer.
- The measuring range and scale divisions you require, as they are confirmed with the quotation.
- Whether you expect a glass float instrument or a digital meter.
- The quantity, plus any measuring cylinders to use as test vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “d less than 1” mean for this aerometer?
For the Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1, d is relative density: a liquid's density compared with that of water. Values below 1 mean the liquid is lighter than water, as with ethanol, kerosene and most oils.
What measuring range and graduation does it have?
The measuring range, scale divisions and design of the Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1 are confirmed with each quotation. Tell us the liquids you will test and the accuracy you need through our contact page before ordering.
How is an aerometer read?
A float-type aerometer such as the Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1 is lowered gently into the liquid, left to settle without touching the cylinder, and read at the level of the liquid surface, with the temperature noted alongside.
Can it measure liquids heavier than water?
No. The Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1 is intended only for liquids lighter than water. For salt solutions, sugar syrups or other liquids heavier than water, order the Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d greater than 1 as well.
Who supplies the aerometer?
The Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Whether a calibration certificate can accompany the Aerometer (densitometer) for liquids with d less than 1 should be discussed with us before you order. Mention the requirement in your enquiry so that it can be confirmed in the quotation.
