Densimètre

The densimeter-thermometer for aquaculture and aquariums is a combined instrument designed to simultaneously measure water density (or salinity) and temperature, two critical parameters for the health and well-being of fish, crustaceans, and marine organisms. This tool allows rapid monitoring of aquarium and fish-holding tank conditions and adjustments according to species-specific requirements.

Key features:

• Function: measures water density/salinity and temperature.

• Type: floating hydrometer with integrated thermometer or digital refractometer with temperature probe.

• Measurement range:

  • Density: 1.000 – 1.030

  • Salinity: 0 – 40 g/L

  • Temperature: 0 – 40 °C (depending on model)

• Material: transparent plastic or salt-resistant glass.

• Advantages: fast, reliable, and combined readings of density and temperature, essential for maintaining a stable environment.

Usage:

1. Take a clean water sample in a container.

2. Immerse the densimeter-thermometer or place water on the prism (depending on type).

3. Read density/salinity and temperature simultaneously.

4. Adjust salinity or temperature if necessary.

Applications:

• Monitoring salinity and temperature in aquaculture systems.

• Controlling conditions in reef and marine aquariums.

• Checking saltwater mixes during water changes.
