/stɛriːˈɒmɪtə/

Etymology: < French stéréomètre, < Greek στερεός solid + -meter comb. form².

1. An instrument for measuring the specific gravity of porous or pulverulent bodies, invented by Say, a French officer of engineers, in 1797. Also attributive.

1801 Encycl. Brit. Suppl. II. 525/2 Stereometer, an instrument lately invented in France for measuring the volume of a body, however irregular, without plunging it in any liquid.

1856 W. H. Miller in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 146 799 To construct an instrument on the principle of the Stereometer invented by M. Say for the purpose of determining the specific gravity of gunpowder.

1856 W. H. Miller in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 146 801 The stereometer was mounted in a room..at the Mint, September 12, 1843.
