Hydrometer Liquids Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-4612
Jlab Export is a leading Hydrometer Liquids Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Hydrometer Liquids (code EL-SLE-4612) are glass hydrometers in two ranges for measuring the specific gravity of light liquids (listed as 700 to 1000) and heavy liquids (1000 to 2000), used in school, college and general laboratory work on density. Each instrument is a standardized glass tube ending in a weighted glass sphere that keeps it upright in the liquid. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.
Specifications
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Measures | Specific gravity of liquids |
| Light-liquid range | 700 to 1000 as listed (specific gravity 0.700–1.000; density 700–1000 kg/m³) |
| Heavy-liquid range | 1000 to 2000 as listed (specific gravity 1.000–2.000; density 1000–2000 kg/m³) |
| Construction | Standardized glass tube ending in a weighted glass sphere |
| Floating position | The weighted sphere keeps the tube erect in the liquid; the lower the density, the deeper the tube sinks |
| Quality check | Each hydrometer is visually inspected before dispatch |
| Pack quantity | Each (sold individually) |
| Minimum order quantity | 10 units |
| Dispatch time | Usually 7–10 working days |
| Product code | EL-SLE-4612 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) — OEM |

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Hydrometers?
| Model | Range or purpose (as listed) | Construction (as listed) |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrometer Liquids (EL-SLE-4612) | Light liquids 700 to 1000; heavy liquids 1000 to 2000 | Glass tube with a weighted glass sphere |
| Hydrometer | Specific gravity of fuels: 0.700–0.750 and 0.800–0.850 g/ml | Not stated |
| Hydrometer Immersion Type | Heavy liquids; calibrated at 20 °C | Chemical-resistant bulb and stem, streamlined, with a directional device |
| Nicholson Hydrometer | Classic loading-pan hydrometer | Brass, hollow metal float, upper loading pan, weighted lower cone |
Choose these when one lab needs to cover everything from liquids lighter than water to those twice as dense. The fuel hydrometer gives narrow ranges for fuel samples, and the Nicholson hydrometer suits the traditional loading-pan experiment.
What Are These Hydrometers Used For?
A hydrometer floats because it displaces its own weight of liquid, so it sinks deeper in a less dense liquid and rides higher in a denser one; the reading where the surface meets the stem gives the specific gravity. Specific gravity is the ratio of a liquid's density to that of water and has no unit, which is why the light and heavy ranges here are often written in the ×1000 form, 700 to 1000 and 1000 to 2000. The light range suits liquids less dense than water, such as alcohol or kerosene; the heavy range suits denser ones such as brine, glycerine or sugar solutions. In class 9 science and class 11 physics, students use the pair to see flotation and relative density at work — for example floating the same hydrometer in water, salt water and spirit.
Pour the liquid into a tall jar, lower the hydrometer gently by the top of the stem — never drop it, as the glass sphere can crack on the bottom — and read at eye level once it floats freely. Density varies with temperature, so record the liquid temperature too. Rinse and dry the hydrometer after use and store it in its box or lying flat.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Range — light liquids, heavy liquids, or both, and how many of each.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units.
- Calibration details — if you need a particular reference temperature or scale division, state it so JLab can confirm what it supplies.
- Hydrometer jars — add jars to the enquiry if your lab needs them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ranges do these hydrometers cover?
Light liquids from 700 to 1000 and heavy liquids from 1000 to 2000, as listed — that is, specific gravity 0.700 to 1.000 and 1.000 to 2.000.
Why are the ranges written as 700 to 1000 rather than 0.700 to 1.000?
The figures are in the ×1000 form, the same numbers as density in kg/m³. Water is 1000 on this scale, so the light range covers liquids less dense than water and the heavy range covers liquids denser than it.
Which liquids suit the light and heavy hydrometers?
Use the light hydrometer for liquids lighter than water, such as alcohol or kerosene, and the heavy one for denser liquids such as salt solutions, sugar solutions or glycerine.
How does the hydrometer stay upright?
The glass tube ends in a weighted glass sphere, which keeps the tube erect in the liquid so the stem can be read.
Is a hydrometer jar included?
No, the listing covers the hydrometers. JLab lists a borosilicate hydrometer jar separately, and it can be added to the same enquiry.
Who manufactures these hydrometers?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes them at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for them directly.
OEM Manufacturer
The hydrometers are made by JLab — Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd — a laboratory instrument and science equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. They come from JLab's own works, not from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy factory-direct, every piece is visually inspected before packing, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 as a manufacturing enterprise and Importer-Exporter Code 3317504552. It ships worldwide to buyers in every region, among them the Netherlands in Western Europe, Sierra Leone in West Africa, Kenya in East Africa, Samoa in Oceania and Canada in North America. For tenders see the JLab lab tenders page.
