Specific gravity is not measured in pounds. It is a dimensionless quantity, which results by dividing (in this case) the density of aliminium, by the density of a reference substance, usually water. The result of the division will be the same, whether you use international units (SI, i.e. metric), or obsolete units.

Is aluminum density or specific gravity?
specific gravity is density compared to water (1000kg/m^3) which is 1 so for example : steel @ 7850 kg/m^3 , specific gravity = 7850/1000 = 7.85
If water has specific gravity 62.4 pounds per cubic feet what is the specific gravity of ice?
0.9168, or 916.8 kg/m3
Aluminum has a density of 171 lb ft3 What would be its specific gravity?
It is approx 2.7
What is the Specific gravity of acetone?
specific gravity of acetone is 0.79
The specific gravity of a product?
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material
What is the specific gravity for aluminum?
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
Does aluminum have a specific gravity?
Every substance has a specific gravity. Aluminum's is around 2.6 .
What is the specific gravity of euclase?
Euclase, which is a beryllium aluminum hydroxide silicate mineral, abbreviated BeAlSiO4(OH), has a specific gravity between 2.99 and 3.1.
Is aluminum density or specific gravity?
specific gravity is density compared to water (1000kg/m^3) which is 1 so for example : steel @ 7850 kg/m^3 , specific gravity = 7850/1000 = 7.85
If water has specific gravity 62.4 pounds per cubic feet what is the specific gravity of ice?
0.9168, or 916.8 kg/m3
How do you convert volume into weight using specific gravity?
start with known values Specific gravity = 1.0 for water weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/8.36 pounds per gallon = 11.96 gallons ------------------------------------ Specific gravity = 1.5 for unknown liquid weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/ (8.36 pounds per gallon of water * 1.5) = 7.97 gallons At least that's how I wuold do it....
Aluminum has a density of 171 lb ft3 What would be its specific gravity?
It is approx 2.7
How much elephants would be 150000 pounds?
Depends on the gravity, and the weight of the elephants. Be more specific...
What is the specific gravity of aluminium in kg?
the atomic mass is 26.981539 if that's what you're looking for. NO. Not at all. The question wasn't atomic weight, but SPECIFIC WEIGHT. SPECIFIC WEIGHT is the ratio of DENSITY of the material to the Density of Water at an established set of conditions. Thus, the Specific weight of Aluminum is approximately 2.7 times the weight of water. So that if you have a cubic foot of aluminum, it will weight more or less two point seven times the weight of a cubic foot of water, that is around 168.5 pounds, but bear in mind that different commercial aluminum alloys can vary from 2.5 to 2.9 in their specific weight, but 2.7 is a good value for practical purposes.
When does a specific gravity of 2.509 equal a density of 50 pounds per cubic foot?
Never. The specific gravity of a substance is its density compared to water. If that happens to be 2.509, then any amount of the substance weighs 2.509 times as much as an equal amount of water. One cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds, so one cubic foot of the substance you've described weighs about 156.6 pounds. "50 pounds per cubic foot" means that the specific gravity is about 0.80 .
What is the specific gravity of stainless steel?
Steel has a Specific Gravity of 7.83. This means that a cubic foot of steel weighs 7.83 times more than a cubic foot of water (which weighs 62.4 pounds)
How many gallons in 20 pounds of birdseed?
It depends on what material makes the gallons and it's specific gravity.
