The specific gravity of the intermediate degrees can be obtained as directed in No. 6155, adding the difference instead of subtracting. A ready method of calculating the specific gravity corresponding to the degrees of this areometer, sufficiently correct for common purposes, will be found in No. 66; the table given in No. 65 is made on that principle, and based on 1000 as the unit representing water, instead of 1.

The specific gravity of the intermediate degrees is found by following the directions given in No. 6155. A simple method for converting the degrees of this areometer into specific gravity, applicable in cases where great accuracy is not required, is given in No. 66. A table, similar to the above, will be found in No. 62, sufficiently accurate for general practical purposes.
