Classification of Sedimentary Rocks (Part 1). Sedimentary rocks are classified based on their texture and composition. Detrital sediment has a clastic (broken) texture. Chemical and organic sediments have a non-clastic texture, and are classified based solely on their composition.
Galvanometer vs Ammeter. Ammeter and galvanometer are two devices that are used in the field of electronic and electrical measurements. Galvanometer is a very important device that is used to develop other measuring devices. It is also used to measure electrical currents. Ammeter is also a device that is used to measure electrical current.
A hydrometer or areometer is an instrument that measures the specific gravity (relative density) of liquidsâthe ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water. A hydrometer is usually made of glass, and consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. The liquid to test is poured into a tall container, often a graduated cylinder, and the hydrometer is gently lowered into the liquid until it floats freely. The point at which the surface of the liquid touches the stem of the hydrometer correlates to specific gravity.
