            TITLE 27--ALCOHOL, TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND FIREARMS
 
 CHAPTER I--ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU, DEPARTMENT OF THE 
                                TREASURY
 
PART 30--GAUGING MANUAL--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart E--Prescribed Tables
 
Sec. 30.65  Table 5, showing the weight per wine gallon (at 60 degrees Fahrenheit) and proof gallon at each percent of proof of spirituous liquor.

    This table may be used to ascertain the weight of any given number 
of wine gallons (at 60 degrees Fahrenheit) or proof gallons of spirits 
by multiplying the pounds per gallon by the given number of gallons of 
the spirits. The table should be especially useful where it is desired 
to weigh a precise quantity of spirits.

    Example. It is desired to ascertain the weight of 100 wine gallons 
of 190 proof spirits:

6.79434x100 equals 679.43 pounds, net weight of 100 wine gallons of 190 
proofs spirits.
    Example. It is desired to ascertain the weight of 100 proof gallons 
of 190 proof spirits.

3.57597x100 equals 357.60 pounds, net weight of 100 proof gallons of 190 
proof spirits.


The slight variation between this table and Tables 2 and 3 on some 
calculations is due to dropping or adding of fractions beyond the first 
decimal on those tables. This table also shows the weight per wine 
gallon (at the prevailing temperature) corresponding to each uncorrected 
reading of a proof hydrometer.
