Gunpowder Proof?

Prior to the invention of the hydrometer, the Royal Navy ships “Pusser” shutdown claims of watering down sailors daily tots by dousing a bit of gunpowder in the rum and attempting to light. If the mixture ignited, the rum was “at proof.” If it did not, the Pusser might find himself tossed to sea.
