Estimating weight on a standard scale does not always give one an accurate measurement of body health. Since a high percentage of body fat can significantly affect health, hydrostatic weighing can be used to measure not in pounds but in percentage of fat to lean muscle. Hydrostatic weighing, also called underwater weighing, involves being weighed underwater. It is not a particularly complex form of weighing, but it does require one to be completely submerged in water for a few seconds.

The process from start to finish takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and includes instructions prior to the hydrostatic weighing as well as outfitting the person being weighed.
