Guide

Before you start

Most hydrometers are calibrated to a set temperature. If your sample is warmer or cooler, the reading needs a small correction.

A few notes

Temperature correction is only approximate. Very hot samples can give poor readings and may damage your gear.

Use accurate measurements for the best estimate.
