The same as their g/cm3 density, but with no units.
It is the density of that material relative to the density of water. Since water has a density of 1g/cm3 the previous answer is correct, but it is more powerful than that. If you know the density in any unit system and divide it by the density of water in that same unit system, you will get the specific gravity.
A sample may have a higher specific gravity compared to other samples due to its composition of heavier materials such as metals or minerals. Specific gravity is a ratio of the weight of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of water, so materials with higher density will have a higher 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).
Gold has the highest specific gravity of the three materials listed. Wood has the lowest specific gravity, while quartz falls in between wood and gold in terms of specific gravity.
The density of pure sodium hydroxide (solid) is 2,13 g/cm3.
you can separate a solid from a solid with specific gravity oils. each solid has a specific gravity the oils will float other solids away from each other. because one from the other has a different gravity weight.
The specific gravity of sodium metasilicate typically ranges from 1.61 to 1.71, depending on its concentration and form (solid or liquid).
The specific gravity of grease typically ranges from 0.85 to 1.05, depending on the composition and consistency of the grease. Grease with a higher specific gravity tends to be denser and may contain more solid components.
Gold has the highest specific gravity among wood, water, quartz, and gold. Its specific gravity is around 19.3 g/cm3, which is much greater than the other materials listed.
This is called specific gravity.
Gold has the highest specific gravity among wood, water, gold, and quartz. Gold has a specific gravity of around 19.3 g/cm3, making it much denser than the other materials listed. Wood has a specific gravity ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 g/cm3, water has a specific gravity of 1.0 g/cm3, and quartz has a specific gravity of around 2.65 g/cm3.
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).
