not urine
calibration temp for urinometer/hydrometer
20 deg c
temperature correction for every 3 deg C that the specimen temp is BELOW the calibration temp
-0.001
temperature correction for every 3 deg C that the specimen temp is ABOVE the calibration temp
+0.001
URINOMETER : correction for glucose

URINOMETER : correction for protein
-0.003
an indirect method based on refractive index
refractometry (total solids meter)
REFRACTOMETRY: formula for RI
RI = light velocity in air / light velocity in solution
REFRACTOMETRY : DISTILLED / DEIONIZED WATER
1.000
REFRACTOMETRY : 3% NaCl
1.015 +/- 0.001
REFRACTOMETRY : 5% NaCl
