Context

Period: Unknown
Canada: 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: Unknown
