How does specific gravity effect head pressure?

Head pressure=specific gravity*1000*gravity*height. Therefore if specific gravity is increased head pressure will increase.


What will be the effect on specific gravity of cement if some of the sample is lost after weighing?

There is no effect on the specific gravity if some of the sample is removed. The amount of mass will change, but it will still have the same specific gravity. It is basically a density. The specific gravity of 1lb of cement is the same as the specific gravity of 100lbs of cement, you just have more cement.

Does a etg test just test for alcohol?

It tests for Ethylglucuronide (ETG)--Alcohol, Creantanine levels, Specific Gravity, Nitirite, and ph.


What is copper specific gravity?

Gravity is constant. It does not change based on the element, only the relative distance from the a specific body can reduce the effect of gravity (moving away from the earth lessens its gravitational pull on an object).


What floats in ethyl alcohol?

Ethyl alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.78, so it will float on water (1). Olive oil is 0.703 so it will float on ethyl alcohol.


What instrument measures alcohol content?

Alcohol lowers the specific gravity of a solution which contains it. If the solution is almost pure water and alcohol, you can determine the specific gravity with a hydrometer, and look up the % alcohol on a table,. Because many alcoholic beverages contain other ingredients which alter specific gravity (such a sugars which RAISE the specific gravity) the alcohol must be purified before taking the specific gravity. This requires distillation with some specific pieces of apparatus. For instance, 100 mL of beverage is measured into a boiler. 50 mL of water is added as a surplus water vehicle. Add a couple of boiling chips. Fit with a condensor cooled with running cold water. Distill off slowly into a (preweighed) 100 mL volumetric flask (fitted with a glass funnel). When you have almost filled the volumetric flask with distillate, remove from the still, adjust the temperature to 4 C, and add sufficient distilled water to equal exactly 100.00 mL. You weigh the filled flask and subtract the weight of the empty flask. Since water at 4 C weighs exactly 100.00 g, the weight of the distillate divided by 100 yields the specific gravity. (Alternatively, pour a little of the 100.00 mL of the distilate into a narrow glass, and drop a hydrometer into it. Read the specific gravity off of the stem. Now go find the table to see what % alcohol it is. PREVIOUS ANSWER: Alcohol content is measured by finding the specific gravity of the brew or whatever before and after fermentation. The instrument is called a hydrometer.

How do you calculate the alcohol percentage in home brew beer when you do not have an initial specific gravity reading?

Ok, so you forgot to take an original gravity reading (O.G.). Hopefully you brewed with a kit or a recipe that tells you the anticipated O.G. Get that number and then when your homebrew finishes get the final gravity reading (F.G.). Calculate the alcohol percentage with this calculation: % ABV = ((anticipated O.G.) - (F.G.)) / (specific gravity of ethanol) % ABV = ((anticipated O.G.) - (F.G.)) / 0.789
