Degree Baumé (°B or °Bé)
Degree Baumé (°B or °Bé) :
A unit of relative density, as read on a type of hydrometer invented by the French chemist Antoine Baumé (1728-1804). Two scales are used, depending on whether the liquid is lighter than water or heavier than water. For lighter liquids, the relative density d in degrees Baumé is related to specific gravity S by the formula d = (144.3 / S) - 144.3; for heavier liquids the formula is d = 144.3 - (144.3 / S)
