MILK 



RELATION OF QUEVENNE AND NEW YORK BOARD OF HEALTH LACTOMETERS TO 

 SPECIFIC GRAVITY 



The correction necessary to bring the lactometer reading to 

 the standard temperature of 60 F. is given in the following table: 



CORRECTION TABLE FOR SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF MILK (QUEVENNE LACTOMETER) 



Approximate correction can also be made by adding 0.1 to 

 the lactometer reading for each degree above 60 F. and deduct- 

 ing 0.1 for each degree below 60 F. This method of correction 

 is not quite as accurate, of course, as the corrections given in the 

 table.
