Estimated period 1900–2000; an ebulliometer, a scientific instrument used to measure alcoholic strength in wine and hydroalcoholic solutions.
Description from the seller
Adelmo Leoni is a figure connected to the world of oenology and technical instrumentation for liquid analysis, known in particular for his contribution to the spread and use of the ebulliometer, a fundamental instrument for determining the alcoholic strength of wine and other hydroalcoholic solutions.
What is an ebulliometer
The ebulliometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the alcoholic strength by exploiting the physical principle that the boiling temperature of a solution varies with the concentration of alcohol.
The more alcohol present, the lower the boiling temperature will be compared to pure water.
How it works
The operation is based on a direct comparison:
- The boiling temperature of water is measured (reference value).
- The boiling temperature of the wine or solution is measured.
The difference between the two values is converted, via a graduated scale, into the alcoholic strength.
Applications (I don’t know how it works)
The ebulliometer is widely used in:
enology (wineries and laboratories)
quality control of wines
