  2. Baumé scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumé_scale

    +100 °Bé (specific gravity, 3.325) would be among the densest fluids known (except some liquid metals), such as diiodomethane. Near 0 °Bé would be approximately the density of water. −100 °Bé (specific gravity, 0.615) would be among the lightest fluids known, such as liquid butane .

  3. Jolly balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_balance

    The Jolly balance is an instrument for determining specific gravities. Invented by the German physicist Philipp von Jolly in 1864, [1] it consists of a spring fastened at the top to a movable arm. At the lower end, the spring is provided with two small pans, one suspended beneath the other.

    Colburn J factors: J M, J H, J D: turbulence; heat, mass, and momentum transfer (dimensionless transfer coefficients) Darcy friction factor: C f or f D: fluid mechanics (fraction of pressure losses due to friction in a pipe; four times the Fanning friction factor) Dean number: D

  5. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    True specific gravity of a liquid can be expressed mathematically as: =, where is the density of the sample and is the density of water. The apparent specific gravity is simply the ratio of the weights of equal volumes of sample and water in air: =,,, where , represents the weight of the sample measured in air and , the weight of an equal ...

  6. Density meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_meter

    A density meter does not measure the specific gravity of a sample directly. However, the specific gravity can be inferred from a density meter. The specific gravity is defined as the density of a sample compared to the density of a reference. The reference density is typically of that of water. The specific gravity is found by the following ...

  7. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    Since API gravity is an inverse measure of a liquid's density relative to that of water, it can be calculated by first dividing the liquid's density by the density of water at a base temperature (usually 60 °F) to compute Specific Gravity (SG), then converting the Specific Gravity to Degrees API as follows: = =

  8. Capillary length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_length

    Here is a picture of a water droplet on a lotus leaf. If the temperature is 20 o then λ c {\displaystyle \lambda _{c}} = 2.71mm The capillary length or capillary constant is a length scaling factor that relates gravity and surface tension .

  9. Hydrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometer

    It measures the density of the fluid. Where no sugar or other dissolved substances are present, the specific gravity of a solution of ethanol in water can be directly correlated to the concentration of alcohol. Saccharometers for measuring sugar-water mixtures measure densities greater than water.
