  1. aAU, Automatic urinometer; CI, Confidence interval; LOA, Limit of agreement; MU, Manual urinometer; n, Number of measurements; SD, Standard deviation; SE, Standard error; \( \overline{\mathrm{x}} \), Mean. For each urinometer, data are shown for all measurements combined, as well as subdivided at a volume of 100 ml. All parameters are in milliliters, except n.
