Periodically clean the hydrometer barrel and float with soap and water for ease of reading and
improved accuracy.
Specific gravity readings should be corrected for temperature. For every
3
o
F (1.67
o
C) of
temperature above
77
o
F (258
o
C), add one point (.001) to the hydrometer reading. For every 3
o
F
(1.67
o
C) of temperature below 77
o
F (25
o
C), subtract one point (.001) from the hydrometer
reading.
