S.G. of water = 1.0 Floating, S.G. < 1.0, Submerging, S.G. > 1.0.
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
Specific gravity is a characteristic of a substance. The size of the sample is irrelevant. The normal specific gravity of urine in healthy individuals ranges from 1.003 to 1.03 . The specific gravity of pure water is 1.00 .
specific gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of the sample/the density of water. So the specific gravity of water is 1. Anything more dense than water will have a specific gravity above 1 and will sink. Anything less dense than water will have a specific gravity below 1 and will float.
The specific gravity of gold is 19.3, it means the density of gold to density of water results 19.3...which gives the idea about how heavy the gold is , in respect to water.

Oil has the highest specific gravity. Water has the second.
The specific gravity of a substance is the ration of its density to some standard, almost always water for liquids or solids. In this case, Feldspar has a specific gravity of about 2.6.
THE MINERAL WITH THE HIGHEST SPECIFIC GRAVITY IS CALLED OSMIUM (Os) followed closely by Iridium. Most people think that Gold is the leading one. Thank you, Audax Kiwango, Mineral Engineer.
Light-colored sand is mostly quartz. The specific gravity of quartz is 2.65, but sand is porous. A good approximation is 1.6 for compacted sand where the interstitial volume is filled with air, rising to 1.9 when the sand is saturated with water.
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).
Specific Gravity.
Specific gravity is the ratio of density of material to the density of water, so when we use Kerosin instead of water then the value will be multiplied by the specific gravity of kerosin to get the actual specific gravity.
specific gravity = relative density ( relative to water) , so if the mineral is 10 times the density of water, then its specific gravity is 10
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
