    Lactometer is used to check purity of milk. The specific gravity of milk does not give a conclusive indication of its composition since milk contains a variety of substances that are either heavier or lighter than water. The device works on the principle of Archimedes’s principle that a solid suspended in a fluid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
