Test Method: D1298
Specific Gravity Bath


• Conforms to ASTM D287, D323, D1298, D6074 and ....D6158
• Models available from 1-12 test positions
• Operating temperature up to 100°C
• Temperature stability ±0.1°C

Model 177-12D accepts twelve 2 inches diameter by 16 inch long hydrometer cylinders for measurement of API or specific gravity at temperatures from ambient to +100°C. It has an agitated liquid bath and adjustable overflow pipe to maintain the correct bath level when the hydrometer cylinders are immersed. The 17 inch deep stainless steel, insulated bath is electronically heated and its temperature control is provided by digital indicating temperature controller with resolution to 0.1°C providing temperature stability or better than ±0.1°C.

The cabinet dimensions are 31"x 16"x 21". Shipping weight is 200 lbs/27 cu.ft.

Model 177-1D is a single position "heated tube" design that does not require a glass hydrometer cylinder to put the test sample in. The sample is poured directly into the stainless steel tube where it is brought to the desired test temperature. The hydrometer is placed into the tube to determine the API or specific gravity. After completion of the test a drain valve is opened and the sample is discarded to a waste container or sink.
