Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.

What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?
Specific Gravity is a pure number without units while density can be any number including those with decimal places with units.
Is any relation between cement density Specific Gravity?
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.

What does it mean when salfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.8?
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
Specific gravity of natural gas?
specific gravity for common natural gas : 0.55 to 0.7 Specific gravity is unitless and is give the density of the gas divided by the density of air at 20C and 1bar.
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 the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?
Specific Gravity is a pure number without units while density can be any number including those with decimal places with units.
What is the difference between density amd specific gravity?
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. Hence its unit is SI system is kg/m3 But specific gravity other wise known as relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of the substance to that of water. So no unit for specific gravity. Density of water is 1000 kg/ m3 Density of mercury is 13,600 kg /m3 Hence specific gravity or relative density of mercury is 13.6
Define specific gravity?
The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of a material and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure.
What is the relationship between the density of a substance and its specific gravity?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, compared to (divided by) the density of a reference substance, usually water.
When the specific gravity equal to density?
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.
What is the differnce between density and specific gravity?
density is like weight and gravity is what pulls you to the ground density is what determines weight
Is density the same thing as specific gravity?
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.
Does specific gravity has units?
- 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.
The property which compares the density of a substance with that of water is known as its?
"Specific gravity" or "specific density"
Is any relation between cement density Specific Gravity?
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.

What is the difference between apparent specific gravity and absolute specific gravity and bulk specific gravity?
Dry Bulk Specific Gravity does not take into account for anything getting into the permeable or impermeable voids of say a stone by water for instance. Saturated Surface Dry Bulk Specific Gravity takes into account for anything getting into the permeable voids only of say a stone by water. Apparent Specific gravity takes into account for the volume of the impermeable voids and not anything getting into the permeable voids of say a stone by water.
