Lactometers are for measuring specific gravity of milk at a specific temperature. Used for measuring at 60° F, on a scale of 25-35.
Hydrometers are instruments for measuring the specific gravity of liquds at a specific temperature. They can also be called 'lactometers', which are hydrometers used specifically for milk. This hydrometer is part of a collection acquired from the University of Reading's Department of Food Science Processing Laboratories. This hydrometer is marked as a lactometer, and has a bulb which has two sections. The lead weights are in the bottom half of the bulb. It has a scale from 25-35 in units (not specifed) of one and 0.5,
