Mayalab Instrument

GlassLactometer 15-40 :measure the amount of water in the milk you drink.it  works on the principle of specific gravity of milk.it consists of a test tube and a  meter bulb.using this instrument is very simple,two type lactometer available .

A Milk Lactometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the purity and density (specific gravity) of milk. It works on the principle of Archimedes’ law, which states that a floating object displaces its own weight in liquid.

The lactometer is a glass instrument that consists of:

• A long graduated stem (scale with readings)

• A bulb weighted with mercury or lead shots to keep it upright in milk

When placed in milk, the lactometer floats. The level to which it sinks indicates the density of the milk:

• Pure milk has a specific gravity between 1.028 to 1.032.

• If the lactometer sinks too low, the milk may be diluted with water.

• If it floats too high, the milk may be adulterated with added solids.

• Commonly used in dairy farms, milk collection centers, and laboratories

• Helps detect milk adulteration

• Also used for quality control in milk processing

The MAYALAB Lactometer is a reliable and easy-to-use instrument designed for quick testing of milk purity and quality. It helps determine the specific gravity of milk, ensuring accurate measurement of milk adulteration and standardization in laboratories, dairies, and households.

• Accurate Measurement: Provides precise readings of milk density for quality assurance.

• Clear Scale Markings: Easy-to-read graduations for quick and reliable results.

• Durable Glass Construction: Made from high-quality glass for long-lasting performance.

• Easy to Use: Simply immerse the lactometer in milk to measure purity.

• Portable Design: Lightweight and convenient for use in labs, dairy farms, and field testing.

• Dairy industry and milk processing plants

• Milk collection centers

• Educational laboratories

• Household use for milk purity testing

1. Fill a measuring cylinder with milk.

2. Gently place the lactometer in the cylinder.

3. Allow it to float freely.

4. Read the scale at the milk surface level to determine specific gravity.
