A hydrometer measures the specific gravity of liquids. It looks at the ratio of the density of the liquid it is placed in compared to the density of water. They are usually made of a glass cylindrical stem adjoined to a weighted bulb which floats when placed in solution. By carefully placing your hydrometer in a sample of your solution you can take the measurement on the scale where it breaches...
The Baumé scale is a measure of a solution's specific gravity, not its concentration, you'll have to convert degrees Baumé to a specific gravity, and then use the specific gravity to look up the concentration of your solution from a table in a handbook. For example, the CRC handbook has tables that relate specific gravities to concentrations of various liquids. The French chemist Antoine Bau...
