What's the difference between gravimetry and hydrometry?

Gravimetry


Definition:

Example Sentences:

Hydrometry


Definition:

  • (n.) The art of determining the specific gravity of liquids, and thence the strength of spirituous liquors, saline solutions, etc.
  • (n.) The art or operation of measuring the velocity or discharge of running water, as in rivers, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In a children's Hospital, one-third of urine specimens will be of insufficient volume for standard hydrometry.
  • (2) Highly significant correlations were achieved between the TOBEC Phase value and fat-free mass (FFM) determined by densitometry (FFMd) and hydrometry (FFMdw) with values ranging from 0.713 to 0.981.
  • (3) The volume of 41 samples was inadequate for hydrometry.
  • (4) Body composition was predicted for 114 middle-aged and elderly individuals aged 35-90 y by using total-body electrical conductivity (TOBEC), densitometry, and hydrometry.
  • (5) Body composition measures included densitometry, hydrometry, bone mineral density of the one-third distal radius, and TOBEC.
  • (6) Fat-free mass (FFM) was calculated by using one-, two-, and three-compartment models: densitometry, FFMd; densitometry and hydrometry, FFMdw; and densitometry, hydrometry, and bone mineral density, FFMdwb.
  • (7) In urines not containing dissolved macromolecules, hydrometry, refractometry and osmolality reliably reflect the degree of concentration.
  • (8) Twelve moderately overweight women were confined to a metabolic unit for a period of 8 wk, 2-wk baseline and 6-wk reduction periods, during which changes in body composition were assessed by densitometry and hydrometry.
