It's basically equivalent to density. More precisely, it's the ratio of the density of a substance, to the ratio of water (or some other reference substance).

Can you calculate specific gravity without a hydrometer?
Specific gravity is a measure of density in comparison to the density of water (or air). A hydrometer is used for liquids but is not the only means. If you have a scale which can measure down to milligrams accurately, then by weighing one ml of the liquid you are checking will give you the specific gravity. specific gravity of water = 1 example: 1 milliliter of beer weighs in at 987 milligrams then the specific gravity is .987 . .987 g/ml / 1 g/ml = .987 (SpG)
What is the specific gravity for aluminum?
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
What is the specific gravity of fly ash?
specific gravity of fly ash is 3.2
What is the specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.
The property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
How you can measure specific gravity of Diesel?
no
How do you measure of how salty water is?
Specific gravity.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
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.
You would like to convert specific gravity to dencity?
It is spelled "density" and specific gravity is a measure of density and so does not need to be converted.
What does the specific gravity (SG) of urine measure?
The density of urine
Why do scientists use specific gravity?
I believe the reason behind using specific gravity is that it is easier to measure (especially when you're measuring it for a solid).
What unit is used with specific gravity?
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.
What is the amount of mass packed into a certain volume?
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.
What is one unit of measure for mass?
Specific gravity I think. Start there.
What specific gravity of a product will sink?
An object will sink if its density - or its specific gravity - is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in.
What does a uninometer do?
Type of hydrometer used to measure the specific gravity of a urine sample
What instrument used to measure the specific gravity of urine is called?
A refractometer.
