17、STM status as those meetingcurrent specifications.4.4 At the time of purchase, scale errors shall be within the maximum scale error found in Table 1.NOTE 1CautionUsers should be aware that both temperature and density indications of thermohydrometers may change with rough handling,shock, exposure to

18、 aggressive liquids, and thermal cycling, among other factors. Consequently, test results and performance obtained at the time ofmanufacture may not necessarily apply throughout an extended period of use. Periodic calibration or verification of these instruments, in accordance withprocedures set for

19、th in Test Method E126 (for the hydrometer), or Test Method E77 (for the integral thermometer), is recommended5. Type5.1 Hydrometers shall be of the constant-mass, variable-displacement type. Hydrometers shall be made of glass, except for thescale, ballast, and the thermometric liquid of thermohydro

20、meters.5.2 The outer surface of the stem and body shall be symmetrical about the vertical axis.There shall be no uneven or unnecessarythickening of the walls, and no abrupt changes or constrictions that would hinder thorough cleaning or tend to trap air bubbles whenthe instrument is immersed.5.3 The

21、 hydrometer shall always float with its axis vertical in liquids for which it is intended.5.4 The hydrometer shall be thoroughly dry on the inside when sealed. The top of the stem shall be neatly rounded withoutunnecessary thickening.5.5 The glass shall be smooth, transparent, and free of bubbles, c

The glass shall adequately resist the reaction of chemical agents to which hydrometers may beexposed and shall have suitable thermal properties to permit its use over the range of temperatures to which

23、 it may be subjected.In general, glasses suitable for constructing the bulbs of thermometers are satisfactory for hydrometers.5.6 The API hydrometers are intended to be used in conjunction with Test Method D287, hydrometer readings being correctedusing Guide D1250, IP 200. Therefore, these hydromete

24、rs shall be made of glass having a coefficient of volumetric or cubicalexpansion of approximately 0.000023/1C or 0.0000128/1F at 15.56C (60F).6.

Markings10.1 Graduation lines and inscriptions shall be in a permanent black marking material, such as I

30、ndia ink.10.2 All graduation lines shall be straight, fine lines not exceeding one fifth of the graduation interval in thickness, and in nocase more than 0.2 mm.

The twoterms are both acceptable in this standard and are used intercha

33、ngeably.10.5 For cemented scales, there shall be a permanent reference mark on the stem or on the scale of the hydrometercorresponding to a designated reference mark on the scale.NOTE 2An etched mark, visible to the naked eye, on the stem corresponding to the first nominal line on the scale or a red

34、 length of glass inside thestem ending at the top nominal line are examples of acceptable means of scale slip indicators.11. Graduation11.1 All hydrometers shall be graduated to read correctly where the plane of the level liquid surface intersects the stem.11.2 Hydrometers indicating density shall b

35、e graduated to indicate, at the temperature marked on the scale, the density of liquidsin kilograms per cubic metre.11.3 Relative Density (specific gravity) hydrometers shall be graduated to indicate the ratio of the mass of a unit volume of theliquid at the stated temperature to the mass of the sam

37、ice E126.12. Thermohydrometers12.1 The thermometer shall be of the mercury-in-glass type. WarningMercury has been designated by EPA and many stateagencies as a hazardous material that can cause central nervous system, kidney, and liver damage. Mercury, or its vapor, may behazardous to health and cor

38、rosive to materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury and mercury containing products.See the applicable product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for details and EPAs website, http:/www.epa.gov/mercury/faq.htm, for additional information. Users should be aware that selling mercury or m

39、ercury containing products, or both, into yourstate may be prohibited by state law.12.2 The capillary stem shall be essentially parallel to the hydrometer axis.12.3 When the thermometer scale is located in the stem of the hydrometer, the scale shall be in red to distinguish it from thehydrometer sca

40、le.12.4 When the thermometer scale is in the stem, calibration and testing of the thermometer shall be based on immersion of thethermometer scale to the level of the mercury in the thermometer stem (total immersion).12.5 The requirements in Section 9 for the scale of the hydrometer shall apply also

41、to the scale of the thermometer.12.6 The thermometer shall be calibrated in accordance with Test Method E77.13. Special Inscription13.1 There shall appear on the scale or an extension thereof, or on a suitable label cemented permanently to the inside of theinstrument, an inscription that indicates t

42、he purpose of the hydrometer. If necessary, this inscription should denote the liquid forwhich the hydrometer is intended, the temperature at which it is to be used, and the character of the indication.13.2 The designation of standard temperature and reference temperature may be abbreviated, for exa

43、mple, sp gr 60/60F, meansthat the hydrometer indicates at 60F the relative density (specific gravity) of the liquid, referred to water at 60F as unity.13.3 The inscription shall include also the hydrometer number (1H, 6H, and so forth) but not the year designation (62, and soforth); a unique serial

44、number; and the name or trademark of the manufacturer or vendor.14.
