Good site. It will be helpful to folks here on the forum. Thanks for the post.
A salometer measures the salt content of a curing brine. They help you gauge the solution accurately by means of a weighted glass tube that is read according to how far it sinks into the brine. Little salt, and the tube will sink way down; much salt, and it will bob along the top. Most tubes contains a marked piece of paper rolled up inside it that gives you the readings.
