SPECIFIC GRAVITY. To Convert Degrees Baumé into Specific Gravity. (1) For liquids heavier than water: Subtract the degree of Baumé from 145 and divide into 145. The quotient is the specific gravity. (2) For liquids lighter than water: Add the degree of Baumé to 130 and divide it into 140. The quotient is the specific gravity. To Convert Specific Gravity into Degrees Baumé. (1) For liquids heavier than water: Divide the specific gravity into 145 and subtract from 145. The remainder is the degree of Baumé. (2) For liquids lighter than water: Divide the specific gravity into 140 and subtract 130 from the quotient. The remainder will be the degree of Baumé. COMPARISON OF DEGREES TWADDELL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY. In order to change degrees Twaddell into specific gravity, multiply by 5, add 1,000 and divide by 1,000. Example: Change 168 deg. Twaddell into specific gravity. Let b. By Nicholson's hydrometer. w be the weight required to sink the instrument to the mark on the stem; to (weight of liquid and bottle)(weight of bottle) (weight of water and bottle)(weight of bottle) Tables of Specific Gravity will be found under Weights and Measures. |
