Mrs.Tuft used a hydrometer to determine the specific gravity of a liquid
Some folks in the lab call it "spee gee" which is slang for specific gravity (SG). It's relative density, the density of liquid - or any given substance - to the density of water. Surf the link. The formula for density is D= Mass/Volume.
the mass of a dry empty specific gravity bottle m1 is determined using common balance now the specific gravity bottle. now the specific gravity bottle with the liquid it is used to check the specific gravity of liquids
Specific gravity (the lab slang is "spee gee") or SG is a comparison of the density of a material to the density of pure water (at about 4 degrees C, the point of its maximum density). To make a comparison, a basis for comparison had to be chosen. Why not pick water? It's a natural choice because it is a stable and universally available substance. It doesn't hurt that its density is right at (but not exactly) 1000 kg/m3 or 1 g/cc. That's just frosting on the cake.
Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measurement of the dissolved sugar-to-water mass ratio of a liquid. It is measured with a saccharimeter that measures specific gravity of a liquid or more easily with a refractometer. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (w/w), with 25 grams of sugar per 100 grams of solution. Or, to put it another way, there are 25 grams of sucrose sugar and 75 grams of water in the 100 grams of solution. http://www.fermsoft.com/gravbrix.php
The specific gravity of liquid argon is approximately 1.4.
To measure specific gravity in a liquid using a hydrometer, you simply place the hydrometer in the liquid and read the value where the liquid surface intersects the scale on the hydrometer. This value indicates the specific gravity of the liquid.
API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.
The specific gravity of the resultant liquid will be a weighted average of the specific gravities of the original liquids, based on their proportions in the mixture. This means that the specific gravity of the resultant liquid will fall between the specific gravities of the two original liquids.
A hydrometer is commonly used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a glass or plastic tube with a weighted bottom that floats in the liquid, and the specific gravity is read at the level of the liquid where the hydrometer surface intersects.
A hydrometer is typically used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It is a device that floats in the liquid and the specific gravity is determined by how high or low the hydrometer floats in the liquid.
A hydrometer works by measuring the density of a liquid, which is related to its specific gravity. The hydrometer floats in the liquid, and the depth at which it sinks indicates the density of the liquid. By comparing this to the density of water, the specific gravity of the liquid can be determined.
specific gravity of any substance can be find out only when it will be in liquid or gas medium.Because specific gravity of any liquid equals to ratio of density of that liquid to the density of water and specific gravity of any gas is the ratio of density of that gas to the density of air. cement is solid material(powder form) and so can not be graded on the basis of specific gravity in all conditions.

As we suck air through common pipe line we could lift the liquid under examination in one limb and water in the other limb. Now measuring the height of columns specific gravity of liquid = h water / h liq.
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.

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).
