(, be°Bé, °B) A, Be scale related to specific gravities , devised by the French chemist Antoine Baumé for marking hydrometers . At 60°F, specific gravity can be calculated from degrees Baumé by the following formulas: liquids lighter than water: sp. gr. = 140/(°Bé + 130) liquids heavier than water: sp. gr. = 145/(145 - °Bé)
