For the determination of specific gravity of canine urine the urinometer is often used. An alternative method is based on refractometry. Both methods were compared and a table for converting refractometer values to urinometer values is given. The refractometer was also compared with an osmometer. A linear relation was found between the readings of both instruments. The results clearly indicate that the refractometric method is very suitable for the small animal practitioner. The instrument appears to be a good alternative for both the urinometer and the osmometer.
对于犬尿液比重的测定，通常使用尿比重计。另一种方法是基于折射测定法。对这两种方法进行了比较，并给出了将折射计读数转换为尿比重计读数的表格。还将折射计与渗透压计进行了比较。发现两种仪器的读数之间存在线性关系。结果清楚地表明，折射测定法非常适合小动物从业者。该仪器似乎是尿比重计和渗透压计的良好替代品。
