A new image processing system for hydrometer calibration developed at CENAM

Luis M. Peña, J. Carlos Pedraza
Abstract:
The present work illustrates the improvements made to the hydrometer calibration sys-tem of CENAM, the NMI of Mexico, making use of an image processing technique to align the scale mark of the hydrometer to the surface of the liquid where it is immersed, reducing the variability in the apparent mass determination during the hydrostatic weighing in the calibration process, decreasing the relative uncertainty of calibration (k = 2) from 1 x 10-4 to 5 x 10-5 or better.
