- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3.
- But if you think to relative density:
Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
737.22 - see http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_liquids.htm The sp. gravity of the petrol(vehicle) is 0.73722 and that of natural petrol is 0,71122 Note that specific gravity has no units.
Specific gravity is a unitless measure that compares the density of a substance to the density of a reference material (usually water at 4 degrees Celsius). It indicates how many times denser or lighter a substance is compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1.
according to Geology.com the specific gravity of Chalcopyrite's is 4.1 -4.3.
The specific gravity of flint ranges from 2.2 to 2.6.
The specific gravity of perchloroethylene is approximately 1.62 at 20°C.
specific gravity
Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.
These are incompatible units
To find the volume of a substance when given its mass and specific gravity, divide the mass by the product of the specific gravity and the density of water (1000 kg/m^3). The formula is: Volume = Mass / (Specific Gravity * Density of Water).
Specific Gravity is a unitless number because it is the ratio between the density of the material of interest and a standard material (e.g. water). The units cancel out leaving a numerical value only.
Actually it isn't. cgs units are sort of obsolete; nowadays, the scientific community uses SI units.
density = mass/volume. The unit of density is kg/m3

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its density to the density of a reference substance (usually water). Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity that allows us to compare the density of different substances without units.
This often happens if you take the ratio of two quantities. In that case, the units disappear. For example:* A coefficient of friction, defined as the ratio between two forces * The specific gravity, defined as a ratio between two densities
