6156. Gay Lussac's Heavy Areometer Reduced to Specific Gravity. This areometer ranges from 0° to 50°, 0° representing water at 59° Fahr.
Degree. | Sp. Gr. | Diff. | Degree. | Sp. Gr. | Diff. |
0° | 1.0000 | .0105 | 30° | 1.4286 | .0220 |
5 | 1.0526 | .0117 | 35 | 1.5385 | .0256 |
10 | 1.1111 | .0131 | 40 | 1.6667 | .0303 |
15 | 1.1765 | .0147 | 45 | 1.8182 | .0363 |
20 | 1.2500 | .0167 | 50 | 2.0000 | |
25 | 1.3333 | .0191 |
The specific gravity of the intermediate degrees is found in the same manner as in No. 6155, only that the differences must be added instead of subtracted.
6157. Gay Lussac's Alcoholmeter Reduced to Specific Gravity. This instrument exhibits the percentage of alcohol by volume in different alcoholic mixtures at 59° Fahr.
per cent of Alcohol by Volume. | 3p. Grav. | Diff. | Per cent, of Alcohol by Volume. | Sp. Grav. | Diff. |
100 | .7947 | .0044 | 60 | .9141 | .0021 |
95 | .8168 | .0036 | 55 | .9248 | .0020 |
90 | .8346 | .0031 | 50 | .9348 | .0018 |
85 | .8502 | •0028 | 45 | .9440 | .0016 |
80 | .8645 | .0031 | 40 | .9523 | .0014 |
75 | .8799 | .0022 | 35 | .9595 | .0002 |
70 | .8907 | .0024 | 10 | .9656 | .0034 |
65 | .9027 | .0023 | 0 | 1.0000 |
The specific gravity of the intermediate degrees is found as explained in No. 6155, only that the difference must be added instead of subtracted.
