Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder (Jar)

Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder (Jar)

Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder (Jar) also known as hydrometer jar is a product that is a graduated glass sedimentation cylinder used to measure the amount of soil in dispersed suspensions, 1000ml at 20°C (68°F). Heavy wall clear glass cylinder for precise readings meets ASTM D7928 and AASHTO T88 standards. Open end is fire polished without pourout.

Dimensions: 18” (457mm) x 2-1/2” OD (64mm). Base is 4-1/3” (107mm).

Meets Test Methods: AASHTO T88 ASTMC 775 ASTM D 422

Definition and Purpose

A sedimentation cylinder also known as hydrometer sedimentation cylinder is a laboratory instrument used to measure the settling velocity of particles in a liquid. Its purpose is to measure the particle size distribution of soil or sediment samples with precise measurement indicated by a line on the cylinder. This is important in environmental monitoring, water treatment and soil testing. By working with a hydrometer the sedimentation cylinder will calculate the density of the liquid and the settling velocity of the particles, useful for scientific and industrial applications.

Characteristics and Applications of Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder (Jar)

The Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder has 1000mL capacity and has graduated scale on the side to measure the particle settling distance. You can add this to your lab equipment for precise measurements. Made of high quality glass for durability and accuracy. Customers who buy this cylinder also buy other related items like hydrometers and cleaning brushes to complete their lab setup. This hydrometer sedimentation cylinder is used across multiple industries, environmental, chemical and pharmaceutical. Used in soil testing, water treatment, process monitoring. Also used in research and development, quality control and educational settings for teaching and research.

How to Use the Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder (Jar)

Using the hydrometer sedimentation cylinder (jar) is easy but requires attention to details to get accurate results. Follow these steps:

1. Preparation: Before you start make sure the hydrometer sedimentation cylinder is clean and free of any debris or residue. So no contaminants will affect your readings.

2. Filling the Cylinder: Fill the cylinder with your sample liquid and particles carefully and don’t exceed 1000ml. This is important for accurate measurements.

3. Attach Hydrometer: Attach the hydrometer to the rubber bung on top of the cylinder. The rubber bung will ensure a tight seal so no leaks or contamination.

4. Settling Time: Let the particles settle for a specified time which can be several hours to overnight depending on the sample.

5. Take Readings: Take readings with sodium hexametaphosphate and from the hydrometer at regular intervals to measure the settling velocity of the particles. This data will be used to calculate the particle size distribution.

6. Record Data: Record all readings and use this data to determine the particle size distribution of your soil or sediment sample.

7. Repeat for Accuracy: Repeat the process as needed to get accurate results.

By following these steps you can use the hydrometer sedimentation cylinder to measure the particle size distribution of your samples.

Operation and Maintenance of Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder (hydrometer jar) with Rubber Bung

Operating the Hydrometer Sedimentation Cylinder for the soil dispersion mixer and with the sodium hexametaphosphate is easy. To make maintenance easier you can add a carrying case and cleaning brush to your equipment. Fill the sedimentation cylinder with sample liquid and particles. Attach the hydrometer to the rubber bung on top of the cylinder. The rubber bung on top of the cylinder allows the hydrometer to measure the liquid’s density and calculate the particles’ settling velocity. For maintenance clean the cylinder with soft brush and mild detergent and store it in dry place to prevent damage. Periodic calibration is recommended to maintain accuracy. Carrying case and cleaning brush are available to make the operation and maintenance of the hydrometer sedimentation cylinder easy and keep it in good condition for sedimentation analysis.

Troubleshooting

Even with proper use you might encounter some issues with your hydrometer sedimentation cylinder (hydrometer jar). Here are some common problems and solutions:

1. Inaccurate Readings: If your hydrometer sedimentation cylinder is not giving accurate readings check for any blockages or debris in the cylinder or hydrometer. Make sure the rubber bung is attached tight and the hydrometer is calibrated properly.

2. Improper Settling: If particles are not settling as expected check the sample liquid and particles for contaminants or impurities that might be affecting the process.

3. Filling Problems: If the cylinder is not filling check the open end for any blockages or debris that might be obstructing the flow.

4. Accessory Failure: If the carrying case or cleaning brush is not working contact the manufacturer to get assistance to keep your equipment in good condition.

By solving these common problems you can maintain your hydrometer sedimentation cylinder.
