Butyrometer fat content is read directly via a special calibrated butyrometer. The theory behind using 10.75 ml milk in the pipette is as follows: Gerber butyrometer is graduated on 0-10 scale .

A butyrometer is a specialized laboratory instrument used to measure the fat content in milk and dairy products. It is a calibrated glass tube designed specifically for the Gerber method, a widely used technique in dairy analysis.

• Made from high-quality, heat-resistant glass

• Graduated scale typically from 0% to 10% or higher fat content

• Narrow neck with clear markings for accurate fat reading

• Compatible with Gerber centrifuge and acid reagents

• Milk fat testing in dairy laboratories

• Quality control in milk processing plants

• Fat determination in cream, cheese, and other dairy products

The butyrometer is filled with a specific amount of milk, sulfuric acid, and amyl alcohol. After sealing and centrifuging, the fat separates and floats to the top of the calibrated tube, allowing direct reading of the fat percentage.
