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.
- 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.
Petrol is more dense than kerosene. Density is a measure of mass per unit volume, and petrol is more dense because it has a higher mass per unit volume compared to kerosene.
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.
specific gravity is density relative to water. (water = 1 kg / litre) specific gravity of petrol is 0.72 ( 0.72 kg / litre) 33 000 litres petrol * 0.72 = 23 760 kg
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.
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.
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.

Its all to do with the concepts of volume and weight. Using a system called Specific Gravity, you can work out how much a set amount of liquid will weigh. For example. Fresh water has a specific gravity of 1. Its what we base all other liquid weights upon. So 1000 litres of fresh water will weigh exactly 1 metric tonne (1000kg) Oils generally have a lower specific gravity, all conventional oils certainly do, than water. So they are 0.85, 0.95 etc. Unleaded Petrol has a specific gravity of approximately 0.72, so 1000 litres of it will weigh 720kg. 1 litre would weigh 72 grams. The calculation is volume * specific gravity = weight. Hope this helps. updated from: Oil or gas floats on water, petrol would be the lighter.
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.
