Safety & Handling
- Handle carefully because the glass body is fragile.
- Use a suitable hydrometer jar or tall measuring cylinder.
- Ensure the hydrometer floats freely without touching the sides or bottom.
- Take readings at the specified calibration temperature or apply temperature correction.
- Clean and dry the hydrometer after use and store it in its protective case.
