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).
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.
- 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.
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 peridot typically ranges from 3.27 to 3.37.
The unit weight of soil with a specific gravity of 2.65 is 1.8 g/cc.
Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.
Specific gravity and density will have the same value when the two substances under investigation have identical densities. Density is an expression of the amount of mass per unit of volume that a substance exhibits. Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of a substance to the density of water.

Specific gravity I think. Start there.
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. Hence its unit is SI system is kg/m3 But specific gravity other wise known as relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of the substance to that of water. So no unit for specific gravity. Density of water is 1000 kg/ m3 Density of mercury is 13,600 kg /m3 Hence specific gravity or relative density of mercury is 13.6
Almost, but not quite. 'Specific gravity' is the density of a substancecompared to water.Numerically . . .Specific gravity of a substance = Density of the substance/Density of water.
The specific gravity of skimmed milk is greater than that of whole milk because because cream is lighter than milk, thus removing it makes the remaining liquid heavier per unit of volume. As a liquid's weight per unit of volume increases its specific gravity increases.

The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of te density of the substance to the density of water. It is, therefore, a unitless measure.
density = mass/volume. The unit of density is kg/m3
Dolomite contains more magnesium than limestone, resulting in a higher specific gravity. The additional magnesium atoms increase the mass of dolomite per unit volume, producing a higher specific gravity compared to limestone.
