Degree butcher

The Fleischer degree , named after the German chemist Emil Fleischer , was a unit used in Germany to determine the relative density of liquids, derived from the hydrometer of the same name , which Fleischer called the densimeter .

Conversion of butcher degrees in relative densities:

For liquids heavier than water

${\displaystyle d={\frac {{\text{°Fleischer}}+100}{100}}}$

Lighter than water for liquids

${\displaystyle d={\frac {\text{°Fleischer}}{100}}}$
