Baumé Hydrometer Glass Calibrated 20°C ºBé Scale

Glass hydrometer for relative density measurement expressed in degrees Baumé (ºBé). Calibrated at 20°C in accordance with the standard reference temperature for this measurement type. Direct-reading instrument — immerse in the liquid and read the scale at the flotation line.

Specifications

• Material: Glass
• Scale: Degrees Baumé (ºBé)
• Calibration temperature: 20°C
• Calibration certificate: Not available for this model

Applications

The Baumé scale is the standard reference in the chemical industry for monitoring acid and base concentrations, in the food sector for musts, syrups, and brines, and in electroplating for surface treatment baths. Also widely used in quality control laboratories where processes are already defined in ºBé — no conversion to absolute density required.

Where process ranges are already specified in ºBé, this hydrometer gives a direct reading without intermediate calculations.

Technical Data

• Type: Immersion hydrometer

Correct Use

Measure in liquids at 20°C or apply a correction if the working temperature differs. Lower the clean, dry hydrometer into the liquid, allow it to float freely without touching the cylinder walls, and read the scale at the meniscus level.
