Baume´ hydrometer scale
Baume´ hydrometer scale [PHYS CHEM] A calibration scale for liquids that is reducible
to specific gravity by the following formulas: for liquids heavier than water, specific
gravity 145 (145 n) [at 60 F]; for liquids lighter than water, specific gravity
140 (130 n) [at 60 F]; n is the reading on the Baume´ scale, in degrees Baume´ ;
Baume´ is abbreviated Be´. {bo¯ ma¯ hı¯ dra¨m əd ər ska¯l }
