Meaning of "lactometer" in English

A lactometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity of milk. This measurement helps determine the milk's richness or quality by assessing its density compared to water. The device is commonly used in dairy farming and milk processing to ensure that milk has not been adulterated or diluted. By floating in a sample of milk, the lactometer provides a reading that can indicate the proportion of cream or water contained within. Its practical applications make it a valuable tool for both producers and consumers interested in the authenticity and nutritional value of milk.

Meaning of "lactomètre" in French

A lactomètre, in French, is an instrument designed to gauge the specific gravity of milk to assess its quality or purity. Similar to its English counterpart, it is commonly used in the dairy industry to test milk's authenticity and ensure it meets required standards. The lactomètre works by being immersed into milk and floating to provide a reading reflecting the milk's density compared to water. This measurement is essential to verify that the milk has not been diluted and maintains its expected nutritional content. The tool thus ensures the integrity of milk products for consumers and producers.
