Description

The Baume Meter is a density measuring device that operates on the principle of buoyancy. It features a weighted glass tube, which when immersed in a liquid, indicates the approximate density by showing which line the liquid surface reaches. Pure water registers as 0 degrees Baume, while other liquids can be calculated using standard formulas:

  • For liquids denser than water: Density = 145 / (145 − degrees Baume)

  • For liquids less dense than water: Density = 140 / (130 + degrees Baume)

This tool is ideal for chemical laboratories, quality control, and educational demonstrations where rapid density assessment is required.

Usage Areas:

  • Determining liquid density in laboratories

  • Quality control in chemical and industrial solutions

  • Educational demonstrations of buoyancy principles

Advantages:

  • Provides quick, visual density readings

  • Glass construction ensures chemical resistance

  • Compact and easy to use in laboratory workflows

  • Comes with a plastic container for safe storage

Technical Specifications:

  • Material: Glass

  • Length: 24 cm

  • Enclosure: Plastic protective container

  • Measurement principle: Buoyancy-based

Safety Warnings & Storage:

  • Handle with care to prevent breakage

  • Avoid sudden impacts or dropping

  • Store in a cool, dry place in the protective container

Usage Notes:

  • Ensure the meter is clean and free from residue before use

  • Read the liquid level at eye level for accurate measurements

  • Use the correct formula depending on whether the liquid is denser or lighter than water
