Specific Gravity conversion table???

JohnyBravo · 01/26/2006, 07:49 PM

Guys,

I got a hydrometer that is calibrated at 75 degrees. If my tank temperature is at 80 how much do I add to my SG reading. Or if you have or know where I can find a conversion table, it would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

That article describes an easy and cheap way to make a calibration standard. With that, you could calibrate the hydrometer using water at your tank temperature, which is pretty handy. I'll take a look around for the tables.
