The ASTM Hydrometers are precision instruments designed for determining density, relative density (specific gravity), and API gravity of crude petroleum, refined products, and petroleum mixtures. Manufactured to meet the exacting requirements of ASTM E100 and related international standards, they ensure high accuracy, repeatability, and traceability across all hydrocarbon testing applications.
The ASTM Hydrometer series provides reliable, direct measurement of density and API gravity for petroleum and liquid hydrocarbon samples. Constructed in accordance with ASTM E100, these hydrometers are calibrated for use at standard reference temperatures (60°F / 15°C) and are available in multiple scales and subdivisions to accommodate all test method requirements.
The instruments are compatible with ASTM D287, D1298, D6074, and D6158, as well as API MPMS Chapter 9.1, IP 160, ISO 3675, and DIN 51757. They are ideal for laboratory and field testing environments where precise determination of product density, blending ratios, and quality control are essential.
Specialized API Gravity Hydrometers, Specific Gravity Hydrometers, and Thermohydrometers (with integrated thermometers) offer broad measurement versatility across various petroleum grades and temperature conditions. The ASTM Metric Thermohydrometers are calibrated in kg/m³ for use in international laboratories and comply with ISO and DIN standards.
Each hydrometer is constructed from high-clarity borosilicate glass, sealed for durability, and supplied with certified calibration for consistent performance.
