TEMPERATURE CORRECTIONS FOR BALLING SACCHAROMETER. 



The necessary correction is found in the column showing the Balling 

 degrees nearest to that observed and on the line opposite the observed 

 temperature. Corrections below 60° are subtracted ; those above, added. 



Example of Temperature Above 60° F. 



Temperature of juice 88° F. 



Balling of juice 23° 



Twenty-five degrees Balling in the table is the figure nearest the 

 indicated test of 23°. Therefore, under column 25° B. of the table and 

 opposite 88° F. will be found the figure 1.17°. Add this to 23° and 

 24.17° B. will be the true Balling degree of the juice. 



In tabular form, the method of correcting is 



Indicated Balling 23.00° 



Temperature — 88.00° F, 



Correction to be added 1.17° B. 



Corrected reading 23.0 + 1.17 = 24.17° Balling
