Temperature Corrections for Ethanol-Water Hydrometers

This is a screen shot from the program "AlcoDens" from Katmar Software. It is designed specifically for distillers, blenders and bottlers of ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Click here to read the full program description and to download the software.
This calculator is used to make temperature corrections to strength readings taken with hydrometers at temperatures other than the hydrometer's official calibration temperature. This allows rapid and accurate measurements to be made in the plant and laboratory without having to heat or cool the sample to the exact calibration temperature. The reading is corrected to the actual sample temperature, as well as to a Standard Temperature. Read background theory.
