2. Hydrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometer

   It is usual for hydrometers to be used with dense liquids to have the mark 1.000 (for water) near the top of the stem, and those for use with lighter liquids to have 1.000 near the bottom. In many industries a set of hydrometers is used (1.0–0.95, 0.95–.) to have instruments covering the range of specific gravities that may be encountered.

3. Twaddell scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twaddell_scale

   On this scale, a specific gravity of 1.000 is reported as 0, and a specific gravity of 2.000 is reported as 200. [1] For example, concentrated sulfuric acid with a specific gravity of 1.8 has a Twaddell scale measurement of 160, reflecting the linear relationship between readings and specific gravity. The Twaddell scale is used exclusively for ...

   Another type of hydrometer is the electronic Oscillating Body hydrometer which determines the density of a small sample drawn into a glass tube mounted on an oscillating mechanism. The difference in frequency between the test sample and a reference sample of distilled water is a measure of the density of the sample, which is displayed digitally.

5. Fahrenheit hydrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_hydrometer

   The Fahrenheit hydrometer is a device used to measure the density of a liquid. It was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), better known for his work in thermometry . The Nicholson hydrometer , after William Nicholson (1753-1815), is similar in design, but instead of a weighted bulb at the bottom there is a small container ...

6. Hydrometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrometry

   Hydrometry is the monitoring of the components of the hydrological cycle including rainfall, groundwater characteristics, as well as water quality and flow characteristics of surface waters. [1] The etymology of the term hydrometry is from Greek : ὕδωρ ( hydor ) 'water' + μέτρον ( metron ) 'measure'.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_Sikes

   Bartholomew Sikes (died 1803) [1] was an officer in the employ of HM Excise who in the late 18th century perfected a device by which the alcoholic content of a liquid can be measured. [ 2 ] In 1802 he presented his invention to a board of inquiry together with nine other competitors who included Mary Dicas of Liverpool whose hydrometer was the ...

9. Oechsle scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oechsle_scale

   The Oechsle scale is a hydrometer scale measuring the density of grape must, [1] which is an indication of grape ripeness and sugar content used in wine-making.It is named for Ferdinand Oechsle (1774–1852) and it is widely used in the German, Swiss and Luxembourgish wine-making industries.
