a) Mohr Balance: devised by Karl F. Mohr
b) Pycnometer Method
- pycnometer - a small glass bottle with a ground glass stopper through which a hole is bored
c) Hare's Method: devised by Robert Hare
- measure specific gravity by balancing the pressure cause by a column of a given liquid against the equal pressure caused by a column of water.
d) Use of Hydrometer
- for rapid measurement of the approximate specific gravity of a liquid.
- hydrometer - has a long stem with Hg(Mercury) at it's lower end to make it float upright in the liquid being measured; graduations in the stem indicate the value of the specific gravity.

What instrument used to measure the specific gravity of urine is called?
A urinometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity of urine. It consists of a float that is placed in a tube filled with urine, and the specific gravity is read off a scale on the side of the tube.
What is Honey specific gravity?
1.42
What instrument measures the specific gravity of a liquid?
A hydrometer is commonly used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a glass or plastic tube with a weighted bottom that floats in the liquid, and the specific gravity is read at the level of the liquid where the hydrometer surface intersects.
What is the instrument that specific gravity of liquid is measured?
A hydrometer is typically used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a device that floats in the liquid and the specific gravity is determined by how high or low the hydrometer floats in the liquid.
What unit is used with specific gravity?
The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of te density of the substance to the density of water. It is, therefore, a unitless measure.

A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
Can you calculate specific gravity without a hydrometer?
Specific gravity is a measure of density in comparison to the density of water (or air). A hydrometer is used for liquids but is not the only means. If you have a scale which can measure down to milligrams accurately, then by weighing one ml of the liquid you are checking will give you the specific gravity. specific gravity of water = 1 example: 1 milliliter of beer weighs in at 987 milligrams then the specific gravity is .987 . .987 g/ml / 1 g/ml = .987 (SpG)
What happens to the specific gravity of urine when kidneys are unable to filter solutes?
In medicine, specific gravity is used to measure the function of kidneys. Decreased specific gravity means that there is a lower concentration of solutes in urine, which may indicate decreased kidney function or renal failure.
