Specifications4.1 Individual hydrometers shall conform to the detailedspecifications in Table 1 and to the general requirementsspecified in Sections 515.4.2 Hydrometers shall be subjected to the initial calibrationcriteria found in Section

18、 14, the inspection criteria found inSection 16, and the calibration and verification criteria found inSection 17.4.3 Hydrometers manufactured to previous revisions of thisspecification shall retain the same ASTM status as thosemeeting current specifications.4.4 At the time of purchase, scale errors

19、 shall be within themaximum scale error found in Table 1.NOTE 1CautionUsers should be aware that both temperature anddensity indications of thermohydrometers may change with roughhandling, shock, exposure to aggressive liquids, and thermal cycling,among other factors. Consequently, test results and

20、performance obtainedat the time of manufacture may not necessarily apply throughout anextended period of use. Periodic calibration or verification of theseinstruments, in accordance with procedures set forth in Test Method E126(for the hydrometer), or Test Method E77 (for the integral thermometer),i

21、s recommended5. Type5.1 Hydrometers shall be of the constant-mass, variable-displacement type. Hydrometers shall be made of glass, exceptfor the scale, ballast, and the thermometric liquid of thermo-hydrometers.5.2 The outer surface of the stem and body shall besymmetrical about the vertical axis. T

22、here shall be no unevenor unnecessary thickening of the walls, and no abrupt changesor constrictions that would hinder thorough cleaning or tend totrap air bubbles when the instrument is immersed.5.3 The hydrometer shall always float with its axis verticalin liquids for which it is intended.5.4 The

23、hydrometer shall be thoroughly dry on the insidewhen sealed. The top of the stem shall be neatly roundedwithout unnecessary thickening.5.5 The glass shall be smooth, transparent, and free ofbubbles, cracks, strain patterns, or other imperfections thatmight interfere with the use of the hydrometer. T

24、he glass shalladequately resist the reaction of chemical agents to whichhydrometers may be exposed and shall have suitable thermalproperties to permit its use over the range of temperatures towhich it may be subjected. In general, glasses suitable forconstructing the bulbs of thermometers are satisf

25、actory forhydrometers.5.6 These hydrometers and thermohydrometers shall befabricated from soda-lime glass tubing having a thermalcubical expansion coefficient of (25 +/- 2) x 10-6per C.NOTE 2The value of the thermal cubical expansion coefficient givenabove is consistent with the conventional value g

26、iven in ISO 1768:1975.6. Body6.1 The preferred shapes for the bodies of hydrometers areshown in Figs. 1 and 2.7. Ballast7.1 Material used for ballast shall be secured to the lowerpart of the body, and no loose material of any sort may beinside a hydrometer. When cement is used to hold the ballastsec

27、urely in place, this cement shall not soften below 105C(221F).7.2 A solid material, such a shot, may be placed in a smallbulb below the main bulb of the hydrometer and then melted orsecured by cement.7.3 If steel shot is used and sealed with wax, the wax shallnot soften below 105C (221F).7.4 Mercury

28、 shall not be used as ballast material in plainform hydrometers.8. Stem8.1 The stem shall be uniform in cross section, with noperceptible irregularities. It shall extend at least 15 mm abovethe top graduation and remain cylindrical for at least 3 mmbelow the lowest graduation.9. Scale9.1 The materia

29、l for the scale is not specified. However, ifpaper is used, it shall only be ledger paper, meeting thespecifications in Specification D3290. The scale may beanchored by a design which prevents it from moving;otherwise, it shall be fixed in place with cement that will notsoften below 105C (221F) and

30、will not deteriorate with time.The paper shall show no evidence of scorching or charringwhen received or after use at 105C (221F). The scale shall bestraight and without twist.10. Markings10.1 Graduation lines and inscriptions shall be in a perma-nent black marking material, such as India ink.10.2 A

31、ll graduation lines shall be straight, fine lines notexceeding one fifth of the graduation interval in thickness, andin no case more than 0.2 mm. The lines shall be perpendicularto the vertical axis of the hydrometer. The lengths of maindivision lines, subdivision lines, and intermediate lines, if u

32、sed,shall be so chosen as to facilitate readings. The shortest linesshall be at least 2 mm long.10.3 All numbers on API hydrometers shall be complete.The numbers for the 0.050 graduation lines on relative density(specific gravity) and density hydrometers shall include thevalues for the first three d

33、ecimal places, for example: 0.750,0.900, 1.100; the other numbered lines may be abbreviated.10.4 Relative density (specific gravity) hydrometers may bemarked sp. gr., rel. density, or with both designations. The twoterms are both acceptable in this standard and are usedinterchangeably.E100 172TABLE
