Unless you are in the UK where triple scale hydrometers made after
1983 seem to feature a different version of PA to anyone elses heh

I think the only change was to the temp standard used for calibration.
I still have the older ones that used 60f as the standard. I think
most of the newer ones use 68f as the standard. The standard used
should be printed on the each hydrometer. Temp compensate and
you should end up with the same numbers.

That is a sensible deduction. However, the hydrometer one I inherited
from my father - which matched the scale commonly used in the US - was
calibrated to the same temperature as my current triple scale which
doesn't match any PA system anyone else seems to use

I am sure you are right in general though Frederick!

Hmmmm...The ones I have also state that they are specifically
designed for use in beer and winemaking. Yours ??
