Product Description
Many acid, syrup and chemical specifications are still written in degrees Baume, and a dedicated Baume hydrometer gives you that value directly without converting from specific gravity. These hydrometers are designed for liquids heavier than water and offer a range for nearly any concentration you handle.
This listing is for catalog number 6609-8: Baume (Heavy) Hydrometer, 0 to 15°. The heavy Baume scale relates to specific gravity by the formula SG = 145 / (145 - degrees Baume). Each glass hydrometer is about 305 mm long. Narrow 12-degree segments read in 0.1 degree steps for fine resolution, while broader models spanning up to 0 to 90 degrees use 0.2, 0.5 or 1.0 degree subdivisions for general screening. Order it from LIGHT LABS and keep your bench running smoothly.
Key Features
- Heavy Baume scale – For liquids denser than water.
- Wide choice of ranges – From narrow 12° segments to a full 0 to 90° span.
- Fine subdivisions – 0.1° resolution on narrow-range models.
- Uniform length – Approx. 305 mm to fit standard hydrometer jars.
