Alcometer (0-100%)

Product detailed description

An alcohol meter is used to measure the alcohol content in distilled spirits or pure alcohol. It cannot be used for measuring alcohol in wines, liqueurs, etc.

• Alcohol Meter Range: 0-100%
• Reference Temperature: 20°C

Instructions for Measuring Alcohol Content:

The alcohol meter is calibrated to measure liquids at a temperature of 20°C. Pour the liquid into a measuring cylinder and use a thermometer to determine its temperature. Then, submerge the alcohol meter in the cylinder; the reading will show the percentage of alcohol. If the liquid’s temperature is different from 20°C, adjust the alcohol percentage using the temperature correction table.

Temperature Correction Table for Alcohol Meters Calibrated at 20°C

• If the liquid temperature is below 20°C, add to the alcohol percentage.
• If the liquid temperature is above 20°C, subtract from the alcohol percentage.

Examples:

• Example 1: If the liquid temperature is 20°C and the alcohol meter reads 45%, the actual alcohol concentration is 45%.

• Example 2: If the liquid temperature is 30°C and the alcohol meter reads 45%, subtract the adjustment value (3.5%):

  $45\% - 3.5\% = 41.5\%$ – The actual alcohol concentration is 41.5%.

• Example 3: If the liquid temperature is 5°C and the alcohol meter reads 45%, add the adjustment value (5.3%):

  $45\% + 5.3\% = 50.3\%$ – The actual alcohol concentration is 50.3%.
