35 | 1.2592 | .0097 | 76 | 1.8085 | |
40 | 1.3077 | .0105 |
The specific gravity of the intermediate degrees is obtained as shown in No. 6155, the differences being added instead of subtracted.
6159. Beck's Light Areometer Reduced to Specific Gravity. The scale on this areometer marks from 0° to 70°, 0° representing water at 54 1/2° Fahr.
