Mercury, it is Mercury which has highest specific gravity in liquids.
Its SG is 13.56. It is the only known metal to exist in the liquid form. We however know that metals have high density.
It means that mercury is 13.56 times denser than water.(as SG is with reference to water in liquids).
The specific gravity of liquid argon is approximately 1.4.
To measure specific gravity in a liquid using a hydrometer, you simply place the hydrometer in the liquid and read the value where the liquid surface intersects the scale on the hydrometer. This value indicates the specific gravity of the liquid.
The specific gravity of liquid hydrocarbons is typically compared to the specific gravity of water, which has a value of 1. If the specific gravity of a liquid hydrocarbon is less than 1, it will float on water, and if it is greater than 1, it will sink in water.
The specific gravity of the resultant liquid will be a weighted average of the specific gravities of the original liquids, based on their proportions in the mixture. This means that the specific gravity of the resultant liquid will fall between the specific gravities of the two original liquids.
A hydrometer is commonly used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a glass or plastic tube with a weighted bottom that floats in the liquid, and the specific gravity is read at the level of the liquid where the hydrometer surface intersects.
A hydrometer is typically used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a device that floats in the liquid and the specific gravity is determined by how high or low the hydrometer floats in the liquid.
A hydrometer works by measuring the density of a liquid, which is related to its specific gravity. The hydrometer floats in the liquid, and the depth at which it sinks indicates the density of the liquid. By comparing this to the density of water, the specific gravity of the liquid can be determined.
As we suck air through common pipe line we could lift the liquid under examination in one limb and water in the other limb. Now measuring the height of columns specific gravity of liquid = h water / h liq.
The calculated specific gravity may be slightly different than the hydrometer reading. The calculated gravity is calculated using specific data while the hydrometer measures the liquid at a specific time and temperature.
The calculated specific gravity may be slightly different than the hydrometer reading. The calculated gravity is calculated using specific data while the hydrometer measures the liquid at a specific time and temperature.
It's possible for a solid to have the same specific gravity as a liquid. In general, though, no. Solid and liquid forms of the same substance almost always have different specific gravities (and most often the liquid is less dense; water is one of the few where the liquid is more dense).
specific gravity of any substance can be find out only when it will be in liquid or gas medium.Because specific gravity of any liquid equals to ratio of density of that liquid to the density of water and specific gravity of any gas is the ratio of density of that gas to the density of air. cement is solid material(powder form) and so can not be graded on the basis of specific gravity in all conditions.
