Baumé hydrometer scale [physical chemistry]: A calibration scale for liquids that is reducible to specific gravity by the following formulas: for liquid heavier than water, specific gravity = 145 + (145 - n) (at 60 degrees F); for liquids lighter than water, specific gravity = 140 + (130 + n) (at 60 degrees F); n is the reading on the Baumé scale, in degrees Baumé. 5, record 1, English, - degree%20Baum%C3%A9

Cada una de las divisiones de la escala de Baumé, que es una escala de valoración de líquidos que puede convertirse en densidad por medio de las siguientes fórmulas : para líquidos más pesados que el agua, densidad = 145+145-n (a 15°C). Para líquidos más ligeros que el agua, densidad = 140+130+n (a 15°C), en donde n es la lectura de la escala en grados Baumé. 1, record 1, Spanish, - grado%20Baum%C3%A9
