Is Hydrometer Calibration the same for Temperature?

[jumbocoturnix]

A digital hydrometer comes with temperature readying. During the hydrometer salt test, can you test the temperature at the same time? Let's say after 24 hours, the hydrometer reads 75% and the temperature readys 73%. Do you add +2 to the temperature reading for future use? Much appreciation! Thanks!

No, hygrometer testing is only good for the hygrometer... for temp you need to do a freezing or boiling point test... does it have a probe or no?

I'm not sure I'm using the AcuRite Digital Humidity and Temperature Monitor which you can locate it here thank you! >>> http://bit.ly/2dZwmeA.

Nope, no probe... best to get another thermometer that you can put in crushed ice and water to test accuracy then compare it setting with the other to see how accurate it is...

What do you mean by probe? Thank you!
