Lactometer is used t measure the purity of milk
Lactometer is an instrument invented by Mr. Dicas, of Liverpool, for the purpose of ascertaining the different qualities of milk from its specific gravity compared with water. On this subject Dr. Ure observes, that it is not possible to infer the quality of milk from the indications merely of a specific gravity instrument, because both cream and water affect the specific gravity of milk alike. "We must first use as a lactometer a graduated glass tube, in which we note the thickness of the stratum of cream afforded, after a proper interval, from a determinate column of new milk; we then apply to the skimmed milk a hydrometric instrument, from which we learn the relative proportions of curd and whey. Thus the combination of the two instruments furnishes a tolerably exact lactometer."

What instrument is mass measured by?
Mass is measured against a standard by using an instrument called a balance.
What instrument measured heat?
A calorimeter measures heat. In contrast, a thermometer measures temperature.A thermometer bolometer - an instrument that measures heat radiation; extremely sensitive calorimeter - a measuring instrument that determines quantities of heatHeat is measured with a ThermometerThermometerThermometer or calorimeterThermometerthermometerHeat is measured with a thermometer.
Is the weight and volume of water butter eggs and milk the same?
The weight of eggs, water and milk are measured in ounces or cups. The volume of water, eggs, and milk is measured as a liquid. The volume of butter is measured as a solid.
By which instrument bp is measured?
It is a "sphygmomanometer." I'm not joking.
What weather instrument measures wind?
The wind direction is measured with wind vanes or wind socks. The wind speed is measured with an anemometer.
What is the principle of lactometer?
A Lactometer is a little glass instrument that tests the purity of milk based on density/buoyancy and works on the principle of the specific gravity of milk.
What is the symbol for goat's milk?
milk represents purity
What are the uses of lactometers?
A Lactometer is a little glass instrument that tests the purity of milk based on density/buoyancy and works on the principle of the specific gravity of milk. It is based on the Archemedes' principle. When we put loctometer inside the liquid it experience buoyant force(weight of displace fluid). Hence measure relative density in the given scale of loctometer. Lower the density of liquid farther, the loctometer will sink.
Milk is measured in what quantities?
Milk is a liquid. liquids are measured in liters.
Is measure milk by volume or weight?
Milk is measured by volume. It is not measured by weight.
How is a heatwave measured?
by an instrument

How was milk measured before metric system?
Milk was measured in gallons before it was measured in liters. There are also other archaic units of volume, such as the hogshead.
