Savart

a unit of frequency interval in musical acoustics, named in honor of the French physicist F. Savart. One savart is equal to the frequency interval having a ratio of the bounding frequencies f₂/f₁ such that log (f₂/f₁) = 1.0023. It has the following relationships with the other frequency-interval units: 1 savart = 3.32 × 10^-3 octaves = 3.98 cents; 1 octave = 301 savarts.
