Notes on the measurement of egg specific gravity to estimate egg shell quality / Peter W. Voisey, R.M.G. Hamilton.A58-4/598E-PDF

"Specific gravity (S.G.) of any material is temperature dependent. The hydrometers used to measure the S.G. of the saline solutions for estimating eggshell quality, by the specific gravity method, are normally calibrated at a reference temperature of 60°F (15.56°C). However, it is not usual to control the temperature of the saline solutions. Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of saline solution temperature and other factors on the accuracy in determining egg S.G."--Summary, page [1].
