Baumé Hydrometer – Special Models

The Baumé hydrometers are instruments that use the Baumé scale (°Bé or °Baume) to determine the density of liquids. This special range is designed for specific applications in various sectors such as the food, chemical, oenological industries and water treatment.

Hydrometers are calibrated using distilled water at a standard temperature of 20 °C to ensure accurate readings.

Available Models

Each hydrometer model is calibrated for a specific range and use:

  • Syrup Hydrometer (0–50° Baumé): Ideal for measuring the concentration of sugary solutions in the food, confectionery, and pharmaceutical industries.
  • Lye Hydrometer (0–45° Baumé): Used in industrial and cleaning processes to control alkaline solutions.
  • Must Hydrometer (0–30° Baumé): Essential in wine and juice production, allowing the sugar concentration to be determined before fermentation.
  • Salt Hydrometer (0–35° Baumé): Designed to measure saline solutions in laboratories, chemical processes, or water treatment.

Main Features

  • Made from high-strength, precision glass.
  • Calibrated specifically for the type of liquid measured.
  • Easy-to-read Baumé scale.
  • Indispensable tool for laboratories and quality control processes.

With the Baumé Hydrometers – Special Models, you will obtain accurate and consistent results, improving the efficiency of your liquid density measurements.

    Hello, good morning. I would like to find out the Baumé degrees of a liquid (calcium polysulphide). Which aerometer would you recommend, and could you explain how it works? Thank yo

    Good morning:
    In response to your enquiry, we need to know the Baumé scale of this chemical product. Once confirmed, we will be able to indicate the correct reference you should purchase together with the glass measuring cylinder, which is 524.017.

    To use a hydrometer (aerometer for liquids) in a cylinder:

    1. Prepare the materials:
      • Clean the glass cylinder and rinse it with a small amount of the liquid to be measured to avoid contamination.
      • Select a hydrometer suitable for the expected density; if it sinks too much, it is not the correct range.
    2. Fill the cylinder:
      • Pour the liquid into the cylinder without overfilling it, avoiding overflow when inserting the hydrometer.
      • Ensure the product temperature is correct; otherwise, use equivalence tables.
    3. Insert the hydrometer:
      • Hold it from the top and gently introduce it into the liquid.
      • Spin it slightly with your fingers so it does not stick to the cylinder walls and can float freely.
    4. Allow stabilisation:
      • Let the hydrometer float freely and vertically without touching the bottom or the sides of the cylinder.
    5. Take the reading:
      • Position your eyes at the liquid level and observe the graduated scale.
      • Read at the bottom of the meniscus (the curve formed by the liquid surface). This point on the scale corresponds to the relative density of the liquid.

    I need a device to measure the alcohol content of grapes. What would you recommend? Thank you.

    Which instrument is used to measure grape must?

    Grapes do not have "degrees" per se; what is measured is the sugar content in the must, which helps estimate probable alcohol content. We recommend two instruments:

    • Handheld refractometer with 3 scales – Ref. 720.5150
      View product
      Measures °Brix, Baumé and probable alcohol. Requires only 2–3 drops.
    • Mustimeter (glass hydrometer) with 2 scales – Ref. 414.
      View product
      Used with a 250 ml glass cylinder.
      Recommended cylinder

    Both options are reliable, but the refractometer is more practical and faster.
