A lactometer is a device used to measure the density or specific gravity of milk.
Lactometers are typically made of glass and have a weighted bulb at one end and a graduated scale at the other.
The lactometer is floated in a sample of milk, and the level to which it sinks indicates the density of the milk.
The density of milk is affected by its fat content, so a lactometer can be used to estimate the fat content of milk.
