A lactometer (or galactometer) is a hydrometer used to test milk.
The specific gravity of milk does not give a conclusive indication of its composition since milk contains a variety of substances that are either heavier or lighter than water.
Additional tests for fat content are necessary to determine overall composition.
The instrument is graduated into a hundred parts.
Milk is poured in and allowed to stand until the cream has formed, then the depth of the cream deposit in degrees determines the quality of the milk.
This is how archimedes principle is used in lactometer.

Archimedes principle states that "If an object is partially or completely immersed in the liquid, the weight of liquid displaced by the object is its upthrust". Law of flotation states that "the weight of the liquid displaced by a floating object is equal to its weight.
