Specific Gravity Bottles Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Specific Gravity Bottles (Product Code: SLE/CE/78) are borosilicate glass density bottles used to determine the density and specific gravity of liquid samples in civil engineering, chemistry and materials laboratories. Offered in 10 mL and 25 mL (approx.) capacities, each has a capillary stopper seated in a ground 10/18 standard taper joint that reduces evaporation. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Specific Gravity Bottle Used For?

The bottle is weighed empty, then filled with distilled water, then with the test liquid, and the capillary stopper is pushed home each time so that surplus liquid escapes through the capillary. Every fill therefore holds the same volume, and the ratio of the liquid mass to the water mass gives its specific gravity. Because the bottles are unadjusted, each one is first calibrated by weighing it full of water at a known temperature.

Students use the method to compare liquids such as oils, solutions and liquid admixtures, and to see why temperature control matters in density work. Handle the bottle by the neck to avoid warming it, wipe the outside dry before weighing and keep each stopper with the bottle it was calibrated with. As borosilicate laboratory glassware in India, the bottles stand up well to routine washing and drying.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Capacity: 10 mL or 25 mL (approx.), or both
• Number of bottles of each capacity, for example one per student group
• Whether spare bottles for breakage should be included in the same quotation

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM for these specific gravity bottles. They are produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so buyers deal with the maker of the glassware rather than a reseller.

Schools, colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers can order factory-direct, and repeat orders for matching sizes are handled by the manufacturer itself — ask us for the quantities you need. The company profile has more background on ScienceLab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What capacities do the Specific Gravity Bottles come in?
Specific Gravity Bottles (SLE/CE/78) are offered in 10 mL and 25 mL (approx.) capacities, both with a 10/18 ground standard taper joint and a capillary stopper. The larger bottle suits work where plenty of sample is available, as small weighing errors matter less.

What does unadjusted mean for these specific gravity bottles?
Unadjusted means the Specific Gravity Bottles are not set to an exact nominal volume. Each bottle's volume is found by weighing it filled with distilled water at a known temperature, and that calibration is then used for every liquid tested in the same bottle.

Why do the Specific Gravity Bottles have capillary stoppers?
The capillary stopper lets surplus liquid escape as it is pushed home, so the Specific Gravity Bottles hold the same volume on every fill. The ground standard taper joint also seals the neck, reducing evaporation while the bottle is being weighed.

What glass are the Specific Gravity Bottles made of?
The Specific Gravity Bottles are made of borosilicate glass, which copes well with laboratory chemicals and with washing and drying. Keep each capillary stopper with the bottle it was calibrated with, because swapping stoppers can change the calibrated volume.

Who manufactures the Specific Gravity Bottles?
Specific Gravity Bottles (SLE/CE/78) are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers can order them direct from the manufacturer.

What should a quotation request for Specific Gravity Bottles include?
