Answer 1

Specific gravity:

Density of solution and density of same amount of distilled water are compared at same temperature.

• Urine specific gravity is detected by refractometer

• The range of specific gravity of normal specimen (urine) is 1.002 to 1.035

• In refractometer, temperature corrections are not needed because through the temperature compensation liquid, light beam is passed before directed to the specific gravity scale

• Temperature compensated between 15 and $<div class=answer> Specific gravity: Density of solution and density of same amount of distilled water are compared at same temperature. • Urine specific gravity is detected by refractometer • The range of specific gravity of normal specimen (urine) is 1.002 to 1.035 • In refractometer, temperature corrections are not needed because through the temperature compensation liquid, light beam is passed before directed to the specific gravity scale • Temperature compensated between 15 and • Hence, if the urine specific gravity is 1.029, and urine temperature is , the specific gravity is reported as 1.029 Therefore, as the temperature corrections are not needed, “1.029” specific gravity of urine is reported as per the given data. Hence, the correct answer is option .$

• Hence, if the urine specific gravity is 1.029, and urine temperature is $<div class=answer> Specific gravity: Density of solution and density of same amount of distilled water are compared at same temperature. • Urine specific gravity is detected by refractometer • The range of specific gravity of normal specimen (urine) is 1.002 to 1.035 • In refractometer, temperature corrections are not needed because through the temperature compensation liquid, light beam is passed before directed to the specific gravity scale • Temperature compensated between 15 and • Hence, if the urine specific gravity is 1.029, and urine temperature is , the specific gravity is reported as 1.029 Therefore, as the temperature corrections are not needed, “1.029” specific gravity of urine is reported as per the given data. Hence, the correct answer is option .$ , the specific gravity is reported as 1.029

Therefore, as the temperature corrections are not needed, “1.029” specific gravity of urine is reported as per the given data. Hence, the correct answer is option $<div class=answer> Specific gravity: Density of solution and density of same amount of distilled water are compared at same temperature. • Urine specific gravity is detected by refractometer • The range of specific gravity of normal specimen (urine) is 1.002 to 1.035 • In refractometer, temperature corrections are not needed because through the temperature compensation liquid, light beam is passed before directed to the specific gravity scale • Temperature compensated between 15 and • Hence, if the urine specific gravity is 1.029, and urine temperature is , the specific gravity is reported as 1.029 Therefore, as the temperature corrections are not needed, “1.029” specific gravity of urine is reported as per the given data.
