IMPA: 651365

Precision Light Oil Hydrometer for Marine Fuel Testing

This precision hydrometer is specifically designed for measuring the specific gravity of light oil products such as marine diesel oil, gas oil, and light fuel oil. Used primarily on board vessels and in marine laboratories, it ensures accurate density readings for fuel quality assessment, bunker analysis, and compliance with operational standards.

Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass, the hydrometer features a weighted bulb for stable flotation and a printed scale that is easy to read even in challenging shipboard conditions. Calibrated at the standard temperature of 15°C (60°F), it provides reliable measurements essential for maritime operations. The IMPA 651365 code ensures easy procurement through your ship chandler.

Each unit is manufactured to meet international testing standards, making it a durable and dependable tool for marine engineers and surveyors. Order your light oil hydrometer today for consistent fuel monitoring and safe vessel operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the measurement range of this hydrometer?

This hydrometer measures specific gravity from 0.800 to 0.950 g/cm³, making it suitable for light oils like diesel, gas oil, and light fuel oil used in marine engines.

How do I use this hydrometer for fuel testing?

Pour a sample of the oil into a clean test cylinder, gently lower the hydrometer and allow it to float freely. Wait for it to stabilize and read the scale at the bottom of the meniscus. For optimal accuracy, perform the test at the calibrated temperature of 15°C (60°F) or apply a temperature correction factor.

Can I use this hydrometer for heavy fuel oil (HFO)?

No, this hydrometer is calibrated for light oils only. For heavy fuel oil with a density above 0.950 g/cm³, you need a hydrometer with a higher measuring range.

Is this hydrometer calibrated to industry standards?

Yes, it is manufactured according to ASTM E100 and ISO 387 standards, ensuring reliable and repeatable results for marine fuel density measurement.
