ASTM E126 Inspection, Calibration, and Verification of ASTM Hydrometers
The purpose of this ASTM E126-13a test method is to establish a common method by which manufacturers, calibration laboratories, and users of hydrometers are used to inspect, verify, or calibrate them. The objective is to provide a standard method that is simple, easily understood, and to produce reliable results.

ASTM E126 Inspection, Calibration, and Verification of ASTM Hydrometers
The purpose of this ASTM E126-13a test method is to establish a common method by which manufacturers, calibration laboratories, and users of hydrometers are used to inspect, verify, or calibrate them. The objective is to provide a standard method that is simple, easily understood, and to produce reliable results.
Scope:
ASTM E126 test method describes the principles, apparatus, and procedures for the inspection, calibration, and verification of ASTM glass hydrometers. This test method applies to ASTM hydrometers but can be used for other general hydrometers of the constant-mass, variable-displacement type.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM E126, the hydrometer (Figure 1) is carefully inspected for; cracks, fissures, deep scratches, rough areas, or other obvious damage to the glass. A hydrometer is rejected if any of these defects are present. The hydrometer is checked for strain in the glass, especially at the stem/body junction with the use of a polariscope. A hydrometer is rejected if any of these defects are present. It is particularly important for thermo hydrometers.
The paper scale is inspected within the hydrometer stem. The paper scale is straight and without a twist. The linear dimensions and diameters are checked for compliance with specification requirements by comparing the hydrometer with the appropriate device.
For ASTM E126, the hydrometer is calibrated at a minimum of three calibration points, spaced approximately equally across its range, nominally high, low, and mid-scale. For example, a hydrometer with a range of 9° to 21° API shall be calibrated at (approximately) 10, 15, and 20 API.

Data
The interval between graduations of density and relative density (specific gravity) hydrometers is smaller near the bottom of the scale. As per ASTM E126, the proper spacing shall be obtained from the following formula:
l = L × d2/d×(d – d1)/ (d2 – d1)
Where:
l = distance from the top line to any line, d, between the top and the bottom,
L = distance between the top and the bottom graduations of the scale,
d2 = density value, or relative density (specific gravity), of the bottom line, and
d1 = density value, or relative density (specific gravity), of the top line.
Conclusion:
ASTM E126 test method describes the principles, apparatus, and procedures for the inspection, calibration, and verification of ASTM glass hydrometers.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
