Hydrometer Calibration Guide

This document provides calibration information for a hydrometer. It includes the height of the jar used, volume and area of the hydrometer, correction factors, and a table showing hydrometer readings, measured heights, and calculations to determine the effective height in centimeters. A graph is also shown plotting the effective height against the hydrometer reading, with lines showing the calibration equations for testing times less than or greater than 4 minutes.
