salinometer
This term is a technical instrument name used primarily in oceanography, aquaculture, and chemical analysis. It carries a neutral, scientific register and is rarely encountered in casual conversation, appearing instead in laboratory manuals or environmental reports.
Because it describes a specific physical tool, it follows standard English noun patterns. It is distinct from a refractometer, which may be used to measure salinity but operates on the principle of light refraction rather than direct salt concentration measurement.
