Streeker59 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi Guys. I was going through some old stuff of my late fathers and came across this scale. My dad was in the oil industry before he retired and it may have something to do with that. It is made of brass and has a thermometer scaled in celsius. Measuring the specific gravity of oil maybe??? Buggered if i know.. Any light shed on this conundrum would be appreciated.. Sorry for the crap pics.. Grant.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polski Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Given that your dad worked in the oil industry, could it be for measuring viscosity ? Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
