A little balance with weights and a bar, reading to one tenth of a gram, known as Troemner's balance, is sold by chemical supply houses for about eight dollars. Quevenne Lactometer. As has been stated, the Quevenne lactometer reads specific gravities directly. On the scale are a set of figures reading from 15 down to 40. These figures mean thousandths, that is, 30 means specific gravity. If we have a barrel that will hold 1,000 lbs. of water at 6o°F., and fill it with milk that reads 30 on our lactometer, we would have 1,030 lbs. of milk in the barrel. Now, if the milk is heated up above 6o°, one tenth of a pound will flow over the top for each degree above 6o° F., and likewise for every degree the milk is lowered, a tenth of a pound more can be put into.
