This test method covers the determination of the relative density of glycols, glycerin, heat transfer fluids, engine coolant concentrates, and aqueous engine coolants.
It determines the relative density (specific gravity) of:
- Engine coolant concentrates (ethylene glycol or propylene glycol based)
- Prediluted engine coolants
- Aqueous glycol heat-transfer fluids
As density changes significantly with temperature accurate temperature control is important. The setup offers a TLC15 for accurate temperature control within specifications.
Application can be found for automotive coolant manufacturing, service station quality checks, antifreeze verification and heat transfer fluid monitoring.

Standard Test Method for Relative Density of Engine Coolant Concentrates and Engine Coolants By The Hydrometer.
It determines the relative density (specific gravity) of:
- Engine coolant concentrates (ethylene glycol or propylene glycol based)
- Prediluted engine coolants
- Aqueous glycol heat-transfer fluids
This method is widely used in automotive and coolant manufacturing laboratories for quality control and concentration verification.
This test method covers the determination of the relative density of glycols, glycerin, heat transfer fluids, engine coolant concentrates, and aqueous engine coolants.
