°Bx = (1.83522 * °Bé) / (1 + 0.0025462 * °Bé) - 0.20714
Here's the step-by-step process on how to convert Baumé (Bé) to Brix (Bx):
1. Multiply the given °Bé value by 1.83522.
2. Add 0.0025462 multiplied by the original °Bé value to 1 in the denominator.
3. Divide the value obtained in step 1 by the value obtained in step 2.
4. Subtract 0.20714 from the result obtained in step 3.
This calculation yields the °Bx value corresponding to the given °Bé value.
Example: If the Baumé (°Bé) reading is 15, convert it to Brix (°Bx).
°Bx = (1.83522 * 15) / (1 + 0.0025462 * 15) - 0.20714
°Bx ≈ 21.91
Therefore, the °Bé reading of 15 is equivalent to approximately 21.91 °Bx.
