    Sunoco handhelds do it automatically but I would like to know how to do it manually.

    Googling hasn't helped any.

    Heres Johnny,

    correction = 1.313454 - 0.132674*F + 0.002057793*F*F - 0.000002627634*F*F*FSG_corrected = SG + (correction * 0.001)

    How about an excel formula? That way I can just punch in the current gravity/temp and it spits out the corrected.

    The side of the hydrometet scale has how much to add or subtract for specific gravity????? I don't have one I'm front of me, but there is an adjustment scale.
