Saccharometer

Baume scale

 A Saccharometer is an instrument used to indicate the density of sugar solutions (syrups). The relative differences between densities of liquids are read off a graduated scale on the tube.

Baume is the more scientific scale, since it is based on the specific gravity of a substance.
