HYDROMETER
This instrument is used to determine the concentration of the chemicals e.g. caustic soda, soda ash e.t.c. It is the chemical concentration that determines the quality of the final product. Likewise, the quality of the chemical solution in grams or kilograms depends on the chemical concentration determined by hydrometer which may call for addition of more water or chemical. To have accurate concentration so as to avoid the corrosive effect, the importance of hydrometer cannot be over emphasized. Hydrometer is fragile and such must be handled with care.
In using hydrometer, if the chemical solution level is above the expected number on the scale of the hydrometer, its concentration is said to be high, more water is added in order to achieve the desired concentration. On the other hand if the chemical solution is below the expected number on the scale of the hydrometer, its concentration is said to be low so more chemical is added to give the required concentration.
What's the chemical solution level for making soap

ReplyDeletewhat is the normal hydrometer reading for caustic soda and water during soap making
ReplyDeletePlease where can I buy hydrometer in Abuja?
ReplyDeleteI CAN SEND HYDROMETER TO YOU FROM LAGOS
DeletePoint of correction.
ReplyDeleteIf the solution of the chemicals is above the expected number (i.e the number is inside the solution) then the concentration is said to be low.
And if the solution of the chemicals is below the expected number (I.e the number does not touch the solution) then the concentration is said to be high.
Please educate me on the hydrometer reading for lye and water Preparation for soap making
