More or less. Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to the density of water - so the units may vary.
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.
They aren't the same thing, but they can give you the same information. Specific gravity is a substance's mass density divided by the mass density of water. Specific gravity is a sort of normalized mass density. Materials with S.G. higher than one will sink in water. S.G. lower than one will float.
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).
The specific gravity is a dimensionless term which is the relationship of the density to the density of water. For metric measurements, the density in gm/cc or kg/l is the same because water's density is 1 gm/cc or 1 kg/l (at 3.98 °C, 1 ATM). This would not be true in pounds, gallons, and etc, although if the specific gravity is calculated, then the units will cancel out and the results will be the same.

2.17 the same as its specific gravity
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).
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.

Specific gravity is the same as density, so if anything except diamondis used then the density would be changed
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
Specific gravity and density will have the same value when the two substances under investigation have identical densities. Let's look at this. Density is an expression of the amount of mass per unit of volume that a substance exhibits. Liquid water has a maximum density at about 4 °C. And there is 1 gram in a cubic centimeter or a milliliter of water. We say water has a density of 1 gram/cubic centimeter. Other substances can have their mass discovered when a known volume is weighed, and then the density of those substances can be discovered and recorded. Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of a substance to the density of water. The specific gravity of a material will not have units associated with it. It is a purenumber. If a substance has a spee gee (lab speak for specific gravity) of 2, it will have 2 times the density of water. A cubic centimeter of this material will weigh 2grams, and will have a density of 2 grams per cubic centimeter. But, to repeat, spee gee has no units associated with it. The only time that specific gravity and density will have the same value is when the substance under inspection has the same density of water at 4 °C. That's the only time density and spee gee will have the same value. And note that we're talking value here, and without regard to units. Density has units of mass per unit of volume, and specific gravity has only a numerical value, only magnitude, and nounits associated with it.

There is no effect on the specific gravity if some of the sample is removed. The amount of mass will change, but it will still have the same specific gravity. It is basically a density. The specific gravity of 1lb of cement is the same as the specific gravity of 100lbs of cement, you just have more cement.
