What is a Graduated Scale Hydrometer?

A Graduated Scale Hydrometer (HYDROMETER,GRADUATED SCALE) is a hydrometer with a graduated scale on stem calibrated to read specific gravity, percentage of content(s), or the like. See also TESTER, ANTIFREEZE SOLUTIONS and TESTER, BATTERY ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION.

What is an Oil Condition Test Kit?

An Oil Condition Test Kit (TEST KIT,OIL CONDITION) is a collection of items designed for estimating fuel dilution, reaction, and solids content of oil.

What is a Color Standards Disk?

A Color Standards Disk (DISK,COLOR STANDARDS) is a series of transparent glass color standards mounted in a disk or turret and identified by numerical markings. The standards may indicate hydrogen ion concentration (pH values), residual chlorine concentration, certain toxic substances, and other solutions. Similarly, the standards may be used in the grading of petroleum products as prescribed in various test methods.

What is an Oxygen Analyzer?

An Oxygen Analyzer (ANALYZER,OXYGEN) is an item used for the detection and measurement of the oxygen content in air or other gases.

A Ph Meter (METER,PH) is an electrical instrument embodying a potentiometer circuit with suitable electrodes to determine the effective acidity or alkalinity of a solution in the measuring of hydrogen ions concentration.

What is a Ph Electrode?

A Ph Electrode (ELECTRODE,PH) is an item designed to be used with a pH meter or a variety of analyzers to determine hydrogen ion concentrations or oxidation reduction potentials of a solution.

What is a Gas Analyzer?

A Gas Analyzer (ANALYZER,GAS) is a device used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze gases and mixtures.

NATO Supply Class 6630 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment. Specifically, Class 6630 focuses on Chemical Analysis Instruments.

Chemical Analysis Instruments are used in laboratories and other scientific settings to analyze and measure the chemical composition of substances. These instruments are designed to provide accurate and precise results for various chemical analyses.

Some examples of Chemical Analysis Instruments that fall under NATO Supply Class 6630 include:

1. Spectrophotometers: These instruments measure the intensity of light at different wavelengths, allowing for the analysis of substances based on their absorption or emission of light.

2. Chromatographs: Chromatography instruments separate and analyze the components of a mixture based on their different affinities for a stationary phase and a mobile phase.

3. Mass Spectrometers: Mass spectrometry instruments ionize and separate molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio, allowing for the identification and quantification of compounds.

4. pH Meters: pH meters measure the acidity or alkalinity of a solution by determining the concentration of hydrogen ions.

5. Gas Analyzers: These instruments analyze the composition and concentration of gases in a sample, often used in environmental monitoring or industrial processes.

6. Titration Equipment: Titration instruments are used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by reacting it with a known reagent.

These are just a few examples of the types of instruments that fall under NATO Supply Class 6630. The class encompasses a wide range of chemical analysis instruments used in various scientific and laboratory applications.
