Certified Brix Thermo Hydrometer. For the home brewer this hydrometer is essential to determine the sugar content of the wort.This hydrometer is calibrated to show the percent of sugar by weight @ 20 °C / 68 °F These hydrometers are manufactured in strict accordance to specifications of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) for accuracy and design. Specifications Range: 0 to 35 degrees Subdivision 0.5 Tolerance +/- 1 Thermometer Scale 0 to 50 °C Subdivision: 1 °C Tolerance +/- 1 °C Length 370 mm / 14.56" Why The Thermometer?The density of a liquid is indirectly proportional to its temperature. As the temperature increases, density decreases. Brix hydrometers are typically calibrated at 20 °C / 68 °F. To accurately assess the density of a liquid, a measurement should be taken at the temperature which the hydrometer was calibrated. When this is not possible and the temperature deviates from the 20 C standard, corrections must be applied to the hydrometer reading. This thermometer is scaled with the appropriate temperature correction for the hydrometer reading.
