It is nice to find conversion formulas, but for quick reference the inclusion of a conversion table would be desirable. Examples of Baume values for typical trade qualities of different chemicals would also be useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.239.87.91 (talk) 09:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

The conversion formulae given in the article (for liquids more dense than water: s.g. = 145 ÷ (145 - degrees Baumé); for liquids less dense than water: s.g. = 140 ÷ (degrees Baumé + 130)) seem doubtful and should be confirmed by references. An old reference book (Smithells, Colin J. and Al (1949). 'Metals Reference Book', page 41) gives the following formulae but does not mention any reference temperature:

- for liquids heavier than water: ${\text{s.g.}}={\frac {144}{144-{\text{degrees Baumé}}}}$

or

- for liquids lighter than water: ${\text{s.g.}}={\frac {144}{134+{\text{degrees Baumé}}}}$

Solved. I added reference sources for both conversion formulae. Yann.fauche (talk) 10 August 2012 —Preceding undated comment added 12:35, 10 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
