Thus, if the Hydrometer indicated 59.4 per cent, in a liquid at 80° Fah., the table in No. 57 would give its true percentage (richness) to 55 per cent.; that is, 100 volumes of the liquid at 80° contains 55 volumes of alcohol. Tralles' Hydrometer gives the per cent, by volume only. If it be desired to know the per cent, by weight, it may be ascertained from the percentage in volume of the liquid at 60° Fah. by table in No. 57.
