Definition of Saccharometer:

part of speech: noun

An instr. for indicating the quantity of sacharine matter in a liquid, as in brewers' worts.

Usage examples:

• This stage of ripeness is determined by means of a must- scale or saccharometer U. P. Hedrick in "Manual of American Grape-Growing".

• The saccharometer will indicate the amount of sugar in the must, and its use is so simple, that every one can soon become familiar with it. George Husmann in "The Cultivation of The Native Grape, and Manufacture of American Wines".

• In such light and moist alluvial soil the latter will grow to a great size, and will yield a large quantity of juice in which the saccharometer may stand well; but the degree of strength indicated will proceed from an immense proportion of mucilage, which will give much trouble in the cleansing during boiling; and the sugar produced must be wanting in dryness and fine color. Samuel White Baker in "Eight Years' Wandering in Ceylon".
