An instrument for determining the specific gravity of liquids, or sometimes (as in Nicholson's hydrometer) for finding the specific gravity of either liquids or solids. The common type consists of a graduated stem having a hollow bulb and a weight at its lower end, so as to float with the stem upright in a liquid, the specific gravity of which is indicated by the depth to which the stem is immersed. Special names are given to it as constructed for particular liquids, as alcoholometer, acidimeter, lactometer, etc. 3, record 1, English, - hydrometer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 DEF
