The advantages of a Sprengel tube over a specific gravity bottle are :— (1) Greater surface for a given volume ; and therefore the temperature is adjusted quicker. (2) There is no stopper to fit; consequently, no error can be due to difference of position owing to inaccuracy of fit. The Westphal balance (Fig. 3) consists of a balance of the.
