Alcoholic proof is a measure of how much ethanol, or "grain alcohol, "is in an alcoholic beverage. The proof number is twice the percentage of the alcohol content measured by volume, at a temperature of 60° Fahrenheit. Therefore "80 degrees proof" is 40% alcohol by volume, and most of the other 60% is water. If you mix 180 proof whiskey half-and-half with water, your drink is 90 proof. US Federal regulation(CFR 27 5. 37 Alcohol Content). 3, record 5, English, - 80%20proof%20distilled%20spirits
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The expression "80 proof" is the American approved system that alcohol is sold. It is based on a scale of 1 to 200. The alcohol content is ½ the proof, i.e. 80 proof is 40% alcohol. 4, record 5, English, - 80%20proof%20distilled%20spirits

Spot application is used to control local infestations in hot spots some distance below the grain surface. The extent of the infested area is determined by probing. The fumigant is then introduced by pouring it into pipes inserted into the infested area on a 1-metre grid. The method is seldom completely successful but is used as a holding measure. It kills the insects but does not cool the hot spot. 1, record 7, English, - spot%20application
