-
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.]
