Used at AGR CEF - Function
-
For measuring & comparing the densities of liquids. - Technical
-
With the ordinary araeometers, as hitherto constructed, a considerable quantity of the test fluid is required, and an elaborate calculation necessary for each determination. In the new araeo-picnometer these drawbacks are ingeniously avoided, so that the specific gravity of any liquid can be quickly and easily obtained with astonishing accuracy. - Area Notes
