- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3.
- But if you think to relative density:
Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.

What is specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, divided by the density of water. Since two units of the same type are divided, specific gravity is dimensionless (i.e., no unit).
What is specific gravity of petrol with unit?
737.22 - see http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_liquids.htm The sp. gravity of the petrol(vehicle) is 0.73722 and that of natural petrol is 0,71122 Note that specific gravity has no units.
What is diamonds specific gravity?
The specific gravity of diamond is 3.5, which is 'above average'.
What is the Specific gravity of solvent?
What is the specific gravity of petroleum natha
What is the specific gravity of lithium?

Which physical quantities does not have units?
specific gravity
What is the specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.
Which physical quantities does not have any units?
specific gravity
How would you convert specific gravity into gallons?
These are incompatible units
What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?
Specific Gravity is a pure number without units while density can be any number including those with decimal places with units.
How to Find Volume when given mass and specific gravity?
Volume = mass / specific gravity. Units are cubic centimeters and grams or cubic meters and tonnes. s.g. has no units : it is a dimensionless quantity.
What is specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, divided by the density of water. Since two units of the same type are divided, specific gravity is dimensionless (i.e., no unit).
Is specific gravity the same as density?
More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
What is specific gravity of petrol with unit?
737.22 - see http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_liquids.htm The sp. gravity of the petrol(vehicle) is 0.73722 and that of natural petrol is 0,71122 Note that specific gravity has no units.
Why is it convienient to express the density or the specific gravity in cgs units?
Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
Which of these physical quantities does not have any units specific gravity resistance distance inertia?
what is the smallest prime number
What is the density of something that has a specific gravity of 1.15?
1.15 times the density of water, in whatever units you choose.
