Pyknometers are used to determine the specific gravity of a liquid. Type 3 to 5 are also known as Density Bottles. There are a number of different styles listed above. We routinely supply the Gay-Lussac Type 3, but can supply others if required. Please contact us for details.

Usage Guide

  • For basic measurement of specific gravities in qualitative work an Unadjusted Density Bottle is sufficient. Typical usage might be measurement of density of salt/water or solvent/water mixtures to derive the ratio of the mixture. Used in schools, universities and research laboratories.
  • For more accurate measurements an Adjusted Density Bottle is appropriate. Adjusted Density Bottles are calibrated to a tolerance with a unique serial number for traceability. A certificate of accuracy traceable to national standards can be provided if required. Adjusted Density Bottles are used in analytical labs, in breweries for measuring alcohol content and other controlled environments.
