Invention is a device to allow a person to self-measure hydrostatic weight.

The method comprises of using the device (Buoyometer) in a pool or other body of liquid of known density to counter the force of gravity pulling the body downwards. The point of neutral buoyancy—that is the point where the Buoyometer's buoyancy exactly equals the gravitational force is measured and from that hydrostatic weight is calculated.

Hydrostatic weight is then used to assess body density—and thus body composition—using previously determined empirical equations.

A method includes conveying a wellbore fluid into a container of a wellsite system, the container having a float angle hydrometer housed therein and the float angle hydrometer including a buoyant structure, and a measuring component housed within or attached to the buoyant structure. The method further includes determining one or more fluid properties of the wellbore fluid with the float angle hydrometer based on an inclination of the buoyant structure within the wellbore fluid, the one or more fluid properties including at least one of density, specific gravity, or fluid level.

A specific gravity measurement apparatus has a specific gravity hydrometer that carries a codestrip at the top. A linear optical encoder is disposed to view the codestrip and to output electronic signals that are indicative of a movement of the codestrip relative to said encoder. The movement is indicative of a change in the specific gravity of the liquid, such as a change in a salinity of the aquarium water in which the hydrometer floats. The measurement apparatus may be incorporated into a saltwater aquarium salinity control system where an electronic controller uses the measurement inputs to control a plurality of pumps for selectively adding saltwater or freshwater to the aquarium water in order to control the salinity of the water at a given setpoint level.

A magnetic levitation system is described, including a first cylinder-shaped magnet; a second cylinder-shaped magnet coaxially aligned with the first cylinder-shaped magnet; and a first cavity coaxially aligned with the first cylinder-shaped magnet; wherein the surfaces of the like-poles of the first and second cylinder-shaped magnets are parallel to each other and face each other to result in a linear magnetic field between the first and the second magnets. Methods of using a magnetic levitation system for analyzing a diamagnetic or paramagnetic sample are also described.

A testing device and method for floating rate of floating agent for fracture height control are provided. The test device includes a support frame, a glass tube vertically fixed on the support frame, a floating agent storage container, a control valve, and a liquid storage tank, wherein multiple circular holes are uniformly distributed along an axial direction of the glass tube, and multiple turbidimeters for measuring liquid turbidity are sequentially mounted on the circular holes. The liquid storage tank communicates with an inner cavity of an upper end of the glass tube through a pipeline, and the floating agent storage container is connected to an inner cavity of a lower end of the glass tube through a control valve. The present invention increases accuracy of measured floating rate of the floating agent, and provides reliable floating data of the floating agent for oil and gas reservoir reconstruction.

A sample to be measured is placed in a medium solution between two circular magnets to ensure that the sample to be measured is levitated in a set circular area between the two circular magnets, and a levitation position of the sample to be measured in the magnetic field is measured. The density of the sample is calculated according to formula (I):

[00001]${}_s={}_m+\frac{{}_m-{}_s}{g_0}\left(B_r\frac{B_z}{r}+B_z\frac{B_z}{z}\right).$

Compared to the prior art, the method of the present disclosure provides a novel method for measuring a density of a substance, in which the involved device is easy to operate and has low cost, and the measurement results are easy to observe and have high accuracy.
