Silver Nitrate Hydrometer Set with 250 ml Measuring Cylinder
Achieving consistent results in wet plate collodion and albumen printing depends on maintaining the correct silver nitrate concentration. This professional Silver Nitrate Hydrometer Set provides a simple and accurate way to monitor the specific gravity of your silver bath, allowing you to make precise adjustments whenever necessary.
The included precision glass hydrometer measures specific gravity from 1.00 to 1.20 SG, covering the ideal working range for most silver nitrate baths used in historical photographic processes. Its clear, easy-to-read scale provides fast and reliable measurements whether you’re preparing a fresh bath or maintaining an existing one.
To ensure accurate readings, the set also includes a 250 ml high-transparency measuring cylinder. Manufactured from quality laboratory glass, it offers excellent optical clarity and provides the ideal vessel for hydrometer measurements while minimising the volume of chemistry required.
Maintaining the correct silver nitrate concentration helps ensure consistent plate sensitivity, even coating behaviour, reliable image quality, and longer bath life. Whether you’re working in a permanent darkroom or using a portable field setup, this hydrometer set is an essential tool for controlling one of the most important variables in the wet plate process.
