Salt meter

A solometer is an aerometric measuring instrument used to measure the weight-volume concentration of aqueous salt solutions. The reading is carried out at a temperature equal to the reference temperature of 20°C, in the range of the hydrometric scale. A correct solution concentration reading is obtained for the upper reading — a reading in which the depth of immersion is determined by the upper edge of the liquid meniscus formed at the hydrometer stem. The line includes three models: two solometers differing in measuring range (SOL10350 and SOL00060) and a thermosol meter (TSOL0350), which additionally has a built-in thermometer for measuring the temperature of the liquid.

Application of solometer

Solometers are used to measure the weight-volume concentration of aqueous salt solutions. The operation is based on immersion of the aerometer in a liquid and reading the values on a hydrometric scale – the reading should be carried out at a temperature equal to the reference temperature of 20°C. A correct reading of the concentration of the solution is obtained for the upper reading, i.e. the reading in which the depth of immersion is determined by the upper edge of the meniscus of the liquid formed at the stem of the hydrometer.

The choice of model depends on two criteria: the required measurement range and the need for simultaneous temperature measurement. The SOL10350 solometer covers the full concentration range from 0 to 350 kg/m³ with an elementary cannon of 5 kg/m³ and is suitable for measuring solutions of varying concentrations. The SOL00060 solometer has a narrow range of 0-60 kg/m³ (equivalent to a density of 0.995-1.040 g/cm³) for precise measurements of weak salt solutions. The TSOL0350 thermosol meter covers the range of 0 to 350 kg/m³ and additionally enables direct measurement of the temperature of the liquid in the range of 0 to 30 °C with a 1 °C elementary fraction – important because a reliable concentration measurement requires reference to the reference temperature.

Solometers and thermosolometers are not subject to legalization.
