What is "gravimetry"

gravimetry \gravimetry\ n. (Chem.) the measurement of specific gravity.

Syn: hydrometry.

n. 1 the measurement of gravity (the strength of the gravitational field) 2 the measurement of specific gravity; hydrometry

n. the measurement of specific gravity [syn: hydrometry]

Gravimetry is the measurement of the strength of a gravitational field. Gravimetry may be used when either the magnitude of gravitational field or the properties of matter responsible for its creation are of interest.
