Because it's the ratio of two densities ... the density of the substance of interest
to the density of water.
In any ratio, the units of both quantities are the same, so the ratio winds up being
a dimensionless number.

Is specific weight is a dimensionless quantity?
energy/mass example: calories/gram
What is the metric unit for force divided by weight?
A weight is a force. If you divide a force by another force, you have a dimensionless unit, whether you use SI or any other system of units.A weight is a force.

What is the specific gravity of magnetite?
There is no such thing as a specific gravity for any element.
How does specific gravity effect head pressure?
Head pressure=specific gravity*1000*gravity*height. Therefore if specific gravity is increased head pressure will increase.
What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
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 specific gravity and its unit?
Specific gravity is the density of a substance, divided by the density of water. Since two units of the same type are divided, specific gravity is dimensionless (i.e., no unit).
Does a dimensionless quantity have a unit?
"Dimensionless" means it doesn't have a unit.
What is a specific gravity?
I just learned about this in chem11. I'll give the definition off my sheet. Specific gravity is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density of a material to the density of water at a given temperature (usually at 4oC). Note that this expression is obsolete today; use the density.
Why angle has a unit in spite it is dimensionless?
Angles are not dimensionless.
How to Find Volume when given mass and specific gravity?
Volume = mass / specific gravity. Units are cubic centimeters and grams or cubic meters and tonnes. s.g. has no units : it is a dimensionless quantity.
What is the unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65?
The unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65 is 1.8 g/cc.
Which dimensionless quantity has unit?
If a quantity is "dimensionless", that means it has no units, and it's just a number.
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.

Unit of relative permeability?
Relative permeability is dimensionless
Coefficient of discharge is a dimensionless parameter?
It is a dimensionless parameter since its just a ratio between two quantities of same unit.
What is the best unit to measure 20 oranges?
A dimensionless unit - an integer (or counting number)!
