A specific gravity bottle is a laboratory tool that is used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity that compares the density of a liquid to the density of water. It is used to determine the concentration of a liquid or to identify a liquid by its density.

Specific gravity bottles are typically made of glass and have a cylindrical shape. They have a narrow neck and a wide base. They have a scale etched on the side of the bottle which is used to measure the liquid’s density. The bottle is filled with a liquid, usually water, and the liquid being tested is added to the bottle. The bottle is then filled to a specific mark on the scale, usually up to the shoulder of the bottle. The density of the liquid can then be determined by comparing the weight of the liquid in the bottle to the weight of an equal volume of water.

Specific gravity bottles are used in many different fields such as chemistry, biology, and materials science to determine the concentration of a liquid or identify a liquid by its density. They are easy to clean and can be used multiple times.
