Can this calculator convert between Baumé and specific gravity?

Yes, the tool converts between API gravity and specific gravity at 60°F, which encompasses Baumé-related SG conversions within its petroleum formula framework.

What temperature is used for the specific gravity calculations?

All specific gravity calculations use water at 60°F (999.016 kg/m³) as the reference standard.

Does the tool support both light and heavy liquid Baumé scales?

The calculator does not explicitly offer a light or heavy liquid Baumé scale selector; it operates within the API gravity and specific gravity at 60°F framework.

Can I embed this calculator on my own website?

Yes, the page provides an embed code that includes Calculator Academy attribution for site integration.

About this tool

What Baume to Specific Gravity Density Converter does

Calculator Academy's API Gravity Calculator is a browser-based tool for converting between API gravity, specific gravity at 60°F, and liquid density using standard petroleum formulas. Users input values in either API or specific gravity mode to receive the corresponding density reading, with results displayed alongside the relevant formula. The calculator supports multiple density units—kg/m³, g/mL, and lb/ft³—and explicitly compares liquid density to water at 60°F (999.016 kg/m³) as the reference standard. An embed code is also provided for site integration. While the tool is designed for petroleum-related density workflows, it offers a straightforward interface for Baumé-to-SG conversions within that framework.

Step by step

How to use the Calculator Academy Baume to Specific Gravity Density Converter

1
Select the conversion direction: API gravity from specific gravity, specific gravity from API gravity, or API gravity from density
