What precautions you take while conducting specific gravity test?
be careful holding the thermometer
Is specific heat the same as specific gravity?
No. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kg of material by 1 K at constant pressure, while specific gravity is the ratio of the material's density to a reference density (typically water).
8.0 cm3 of platinum are found to have a mass of 171.2 g Determine the density and specific gravity of platinum?
The density is the mass per volume; so that 171.2 g/8.0 cm3 = 21.4 g/cm3. The specific gravity is the density of the substance divided by the density of water at its greatest density (21.4 g/cm3)/(1 g/cm3) = 21.4NOTE: While density gas units of g/cm3, specific gravity has no units as they cancel out in the previous equation
Can an object with mass be weightless while under the influence of gravity?
No, objects under the influence of gravity have a mass.
How do you Convert refrigeration tons to kWh?
4.5 tons of refrigeration is a unit of power while kwh or kw-hr is unit of energy. Its not possible. Maybe you mean kw only not kwhr. 1ton of ref= 12000btu/hr = 3.51 kw
How does calculated specific gravity compare to the hydrometer reading for the liquid?
The calculated specific gravity may be slightly different than the hydrometer reading. The calculated gravity is calculated using specific data while the hydrometer measures the liquid at a specific time and temperature.
How does the calculated specific gravity compare to the hydrometer reading for each liquid?
The calculated specific gravity may be slightly different than the hydrometer reading. The calculated gravity is calculated using specific data while the hydrometer measures the liquid at a specific time and temperature.
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 heavy crude oil and light crude oil?
light crude oil has less specific gravity,less viscosity while heavy crude oil has more specific gravity & viscosity.
What metal has the highest density?
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.
Who found refrigeration looking for a cure for malaria?
John Gorrie was the man who found refrigeration while researching malaria.
Does the speed of a solid increase while falling under the action of gravity?
yes 9.81 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2
What are the properties difference between Refrigeration and hydraulic oils?
Hydraulic oils are substances that are hot, while refrigeration properties are cold.
How do you convert inches into specific gravity?
You cannot. An inch is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while specific gravity is the ration of the density of a substance compared to that of water. Specific gravity is a pure ratio - it has no units. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion from one to the other is fundamentally flawed.
