(16.6 C.); a reason for this is that the gallon of water is defined by statute as weighing Io lb at 62° F., and hence the densities so expressed admit of the ready conversion of volumes to weights.
Practical Determination Of Densities The methods for determining densities may be divided into two groups according as hydrostatic principles are employed or not.

The method of weighing equal volumes is particularly applicable to the determination of the relative densities of liquids.
Morley determined the densities of hydrogen and oxygen in the course of his classical investigation of the composition of water.
