Hydrometers are calibrated in density, specific gravity, and several arbitrary units such as degrees Baume (°Be), degrees American Petroleum Institute (°API), or °Brix. These units are used for specialized purposes in various industries. The relationship between the specific gravity (sp. gr.) of a liquid with a density less than water and these specialized units is given by the following equations ...

For definite qualities of raw materials the specific gravities or degrees Baum of the solutions are sometimes used in industrial practice to deduce, from suitable tables compiled empirically, the approximate content in tannin and in total soluble matter. 

Nitric acid is sold commercially in various concentrations that are expressed in degrees Baume (Be) which is an alternate specific gravity scale. Various grades of concentrated or fuming nitric acid (95% or more HN03/ N02) are available.91,104... 

Labeling Indicate the content, by weight, of Hydrochloric Acid (HC1). Alternatively, indicate the range of Hydrochloric Acid content, the range of degrees Baume, and/or the specific gravity range. 

Degrees Baume Within the range shown on the label or claimed by the vendor. 

Degrees Baume Transfer about 200 mL of sample, previously cooled to a temperature below 15° into a 250-mL hydrometer cylinder. Insert a suitable Baume hydrometer graduated at 0.1 °Be intervals, adjust the temperature to 15.6°, and note the reading at the bottom of the meniscus. 

Specific Gravity Determine at 15.6° with a hydrometer, or calculate it from the degrees Baume observed in the Degrees Baume Test.
