An instrument for determining the amount of sugar in a solution; it may be a polarimeter, an hygrometer, or a retort-like device in which the solution is fermented and the amount estimated by the volume of carbonic acid produced. See cut under Einhorn.

-
A polarimeter for estimating the amount of sugar in a solution by the degree to which the latter rotates a beam of polarized light (also called Polarising s.).
-
A hydrometer so graduated as to show directly the strength of a sugar solution.

-
An apparatus for determining the amount of sugar in a solution. A special form of polarimeter so constituted as to indicate the amount of sugar present in a solution by the degree to which the latter rotates the plane of polarization. A hydrometer for determining the percentage of sugar in a solution from the specific gravity is also called a s. [Gr.]
