  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-000310",
  "term": "Aerometer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An instrument designed to measure the density or specific gravity of gases. It typically operates by comparing the buoyancy of a sealed bulb in the gas to its buoyancy in a reference gas or vacuum. Some aerometers are also used to determine the density of liquids, functioning similarly to a hydrometer.",
