Line 49:
# '''Temperature''' '''correction''': If the measurement is not performed at the standard temperature, a correction factor is applied to adjust the reading to the equivalent value at 60°F.<ref name=":2" />
The hydrometer method is widely used due to its simplicity and low cost. However, it requires a relatively large sample volume and may not be suitable for highly viscous or opaque fluids.<ref name=":3" /> Proper cleaning and handling of the hydrometer are crucial to maintain accuracy, and for volatile liquids, special precautions may be necessary to prevent evaporation during measurement.<ref name=":0" />
