hydromètre

Also known as areometer

AI overview

A hydrometer is a simple instrument that measures the density of liquids by using a weighted float that sinks deeper or rises higher depending on how dense the fluid is. It matters because it allows people to quickly determine a liquid's density by reading a scale, which is useful in applications like brewing, winemaking, and other processes where liquid density indicates important properties.

L'hydromètre ou densimètre (noms alternatifs : mustimètre, pèse-moût, pèse-sirop ou encore aréomètre) est un instrument en verre ou en métal utilisé pour mesurer la masse volumique d'un liquide en utilisant le principe d'Archimède.
