The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of te density of the substance to the density of water. It is, therefore, a unitless measure.
An object will sink if its density - or its specific gravity - is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in.
A refractometer.
specific gravity of acetone is 0.79
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material
8.5
Specific gravity.
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
It is spelled "density" and specific gravity is a measure of density and so does not need to be converted.
The density of urine
I believe the reason behind using specific gravity is that it is easier to measure (especially when you're measuring it for a solid).

A cubic foot is a cubic foot is a cubic foot... If you are referring to ask for a given equal mass of water and diesel fuel: The specific gravity of #2 diesel fuel is about 0.89, depending on the quality. The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of it's density to that of water. Since the specific gravity of diesel is less than one, it is less dense than water. Conversely, diesel is more voluminous than water. It will float on top of it. The answer to this question is that for an equal mass of water and diesel the latter will occupy more volume.

Specific gravity I think. Start there.
Diesel fuel has a density of approx. 0,83 g/cm3.
