Part 2 of this British Standard specifies procedures for determining the density of milk with the fat either wholly in the liquid state or wholly in the solid state and provides tables relating the known fat content and measured density to percentage of S.N.F. in the milk under test.

Of the hydrometers specified in Part 1 of this standard the Nos. 1 and 1A hydrometers are the most accurate; 225 ml (8 ft. oz) of milk is ample for these hydrometers. The Nos. 2 and 2A hydrometers can be used with 150 ml (5 fl. oz) of milk while the Nos. 3 and 3A hydrometers may be used with as little 1as 90 ml (3 fl. oz) of milk but the use of such a small sample should be avoided whenever possible.
