Some folks in the lab call it "spee gee" which is slang for specific gravity (SG). It's relative density, the density of liquid - or any given substance - to the density of water. Surf the link. The formula for density is D= Mass/Volume.
The densities of many substances are compared to the density of water. The density of pure water is 1 g/mL or 1 g/cm3. When you divide the density of a substance by the density of water you get a unit-less number known as the "specific gravity" of the substance. When you see a specific gravity value for a substance you can know that that value is the density (in g/mL or g/cm3) for that substance.
The ratio of the density of an object relative to that of water is called 'Relative density' or 'specific gravity' of that object.
The ratio is called the specific gravity, and as water has a density of practically 1 g/cm3, the value also gives the approximate weight of the substance in g/cm3.
It is the object's specific gravity.
Gravity.
The ratio of mass to volume is called density.
Density is the ratio of an object's mass divided by its volume. The standard international unit to measure density is kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). Whether it is a liquid or solid or gas makes no difference.
Density is the ratio of mass to volume of a substance. d = rho = m / V Density generally depends upon the following : ( 1 ) Identity of the substance ( 2 ) Temperature ( 3 ) Pressure for gases
Finding the volume and comparing it to the mass will give you the density, then it is simply a matter of looking up which materials have that density to find what it is. And that is how you can tell howthe density can be used
- 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.
This is called specific gravity.
This is the determination of the specific density (the ratio liquid density/water density).
The density is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a material; an object float when this density is lower that the density of the liquid.
DensityThe ratio of mass to volume is density.
The density is the ratio mass/volume; increasing the the concentration the mass and density are increased.
The ratio of mass to volume is called density.
Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B. The temperatures and pressures for both liquids must be specified.Often the reference liquid (liquid B) is pure water at one atmosphere and room temperature (20 deg C). In that case, the ratio is also known as specific gravity.Density of liquid A, relative to liquid B = density of liquid A/density of liquid B.
