specific gravity is density compared to water (1000kg/m^3) which is 1
so for example : steel @ 7850 kg/m^3 , specific gravity = 7850/1000 = 7.85
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
It is approx 2.7
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to (divided by) the density of a reference substance, usually water.
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
Every substance has a specific gravity. Aluminum's is around 2.6 .
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.

"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
Specific Gravity.
Specific gravity and density will have the same value when the two substances under investigation have identical densities. Density is an expression of the amount of mass per unit of volume that a substance exhibits. Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of a substance to the density of water.
"Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such. So, you would have to specify, "specific gravity [or density] of what substance"."Relative gravity" is used more or less as a synonym for density; it bears no direct relation with "gravity" as such.

Specific gravity of sulfuric acid = 1.8 specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water (waters density in the denominator). So this means the density is 1.8 g/mL
Another word for specific gravity is density.
More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
