This instrument has been tested against UKAS Calibrated equipment, and has been found to be accurate within +0.0005 kg/litre in air at 15°C. (A Group Quality Manager When carrying out a Draft Survey on bulk carrying cargo vessels, itis important that the weight to volume relationship of the supporting water is clearly understood and accurately reported, Many hydrometers at present in use for Draft Surveys are not really suitable for the purpose, but ZEAL have designed, in conjunction with S.G.S, Van Bree N.V., Antwerp, member of the Société Générale de Surveillance S.A., Geneva, this special Draft Survey Hydrometer of the required accuracy, incorporating the following features. * Arrange of 0.990 to 1.040 g/l, suitable for use in sea and fresh water and thus covering the range of densities normally required for Draft Surveys * Asscale graduated in density kg/l in air (density in air is sometimes termed apparent density). This permits the weight to be obtained by muttiplying the scale reading by the volume in m? of water displaced Calibration of the hydrometer for use in sea water, liquid of medium surface tension Manufactured from glass, thus permitting certfcation by U.K.A.S approved density laboratories if required. Alternatively, a ZEAL 3 point Works Certificate of Calibration can be supplied. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ‘1. A clean, representative sample of the supporting water should be obtained by means of a ‘sampling can or other suitably designed sampling apparatus. A sample of at least 1 litre will help to ensure that the temperature and density do not change unduly between collection of the. ‘sample and taking the readings, The depth of water in the container must be sufficient to allow at least 25mm clearance between the bottom of the hydrometer and the bottom of the hydrometer and the bottom of the container. The internal diameter of the container or jar should be at least ‘50mm. 2. The number of samples to be taken, also at which depths and at which positions outside the vessel they should be taken, may be important according to the circumstances. 3. Readings may be taken by lowering the hydrometer into a sultably shaped sampling apparatus or by transferring the water to a suitable glass test jar. if metal or other non-transparent container is used for taking readings, ensure that itis full to the brim. Ifa glass test jer is used, it should preferably be rinsed first, so as to avoid undue temperature changes. The container or test jar should be shielded from draughts, which may affect the readings. 4. The reading must be taken in the sampling apparatus or glass test jar as rapidly as possible. Undue delay in taking the reading could result in temperature changes leading to inaccurate results. In case of doubt, a repeat sample should be taken in order to verify the first observation 5. Ensure that the stem of the hydrometer and the surface of the water sample are free from grease and oll since the accuracy of the readings could be adversely affected 6. Hold the hydrometer vertically by the fop of the stem and gently iower it into the water sample until it floats freely, 7. Take the hydrometer reading where the /evel liquid surface meets the graduated scale (see illustration overieat) Date: 01/12/2016TIONS TO HYDROMETER READING Ifthe hydrometer is supplied with a UKAS Certificate of Calibration, the appropriate corrections: should be applied 2. For most Draft Survey purposes, no further corrections to the readings are needed, A reading is most correct when the glass hydrometer is used at a temperature of 15°C. Ifimmersed in water at temperatures higher of lower than 15°C, the instrument will expand or contract so that, for precise laboratory work, a small comection would be applicable However, for Draft Survey work, it should be noted that the ship itself will normally expand or contract ‘according to the temperature of the water in which itis floating. The corrections required to compensate for these changes in volume are of opposite sign and tend to compensate for each other. AS itis not practicable to calculate any temperature corrections for the ship, for most Draft Survey Purposes no correction should be applied for the expansion or contraction of the hydrometer glass, IMPORTANT {tis most important to note that the density required for Draft Survey purposes is the average density (in air) of the water in which the ship is floating. Any attempt to correct this water density to density at 15°C, ‘50°F or some other standard temperature can lead to very serious errors in the weight calculation. TAKING A READING Theline A____ Aindicates the correct reading position at eye level, e.g. 1.0285 kaflte in air APPENDIX When necessary, a ZEAL Draft Survey hydrometer with a U.K.A.S, Calibration Certificate may be used to verify the accuracy of a brass Loadline hydrometer graduated in Sp. Gr. 60°F 60°F in vacuum. Ifthe two Instruments are compared in fresh water at a temperature of 15°C or 60°F the following equation epplies (1) Correct reading on glass hydrometer +0.0020 = correct reading on brass Loadline Hydrometer. {f the comparison has to be made in water at some temperature substantially higher or lower than 15°C, the following corrections should be applied to the readings of the glass and brass instruments before using the equation (1) Water Glass Brass Temperature °C _| Hydrometer __| Hydrometer 5 +0.0003 0.0008 10, ++0.0001 0.0003 15 6.0000, 0.0000 20 0.0001 0.0002 25 0.0003 0.0005 30 0.0005 0.0008 GH ZEALLTD Zeal House 8 Deer Park Road London SW19 3UU Tel:+44 (0)20 8542 2283 Fax +44 (0)20 8543 7840 Emall: scientfic@zeal co.uk ‘Company Registration No. 2474874
