Temperature Correction

Correct a hydrometer proof reading taken at a non-60 °F temperature to its true proof at 60 °F (27 CFR §30.61, Table 1).

Calculator

Enter your hydrometer proof reading and the temperature you took it at to see the true proof corrected to 60 °F.

Enter a reading and a temperature to see the result.

This is a quick estimate for reference — a tool, not an official TTB filing or gauge record. It computes the true percent of proof for your reading at the observed temperature per 27 CFR §30.61 Table 1 (from the OIML ethanol-water density model).

Reference tools, not a system of record. These free calculators are provided for convenience and general reference only. They are not a system of record and must not be used as the basis for any TTB or state compliance filing — even when a result is correct. Your official filings are governed by the applicable measurement and gauging methods and by your own production records.
