Specific gravity is otherwise known to be "Relative Density". It is the ratio of the density of a substance to that of water as water has been taken as standard. So though volume gets changed there is no chance to get change in the relative density as it is the characteristic property of the substance.

How to Find Volume when given mass and specific gravity?
Volume = mass / specific gravity. Units are cubic centimeters and grams or cubic meters and tonnes. s.g. has no units : it is a dimensionless quantity.
What factors affect on specific gravity of matter?
water ...
Does gravity affect everything?
No, it does not affect things that are not solid or things that can hold volume. Such as gas. etc
Does gravity have volume?
All substances have volume, but gravity is not a substance; gravity is a force and has no volume.
What is the density specific volume and volume of an object that weighs 3 lb in water and 4 lb in oil with specific gravity 0.83?
Specific gravity of oil=[Weight of object-Weight in oil]\[Weight of object-Weight in water] Take weight of object as X 0.83=x-4\x-3 X=8.882lb Specific gravity of object= X/X-3 =1.51 Density=1510kgm-3 Volume=Mass\Density Volume=4.0288\1510=0.002668m3 If there is anything wrong please let me know.Thank you!
Is altitude affect to specific gravity and density?
no donot affect.
What does it mean when a mineral has a specific gravity of 4.0?
A specific gravity of 4.0 for a mineral means that a given volume of the mineral has 4.0 times the mass of the same volume of water.
What's the relationship between Specific retention and specific yield?
Both Specific retention and specific yield relate to the ratio of the volume of water (in a permeable unit of rock and/or sediment) to the total volume of the rock and/or sediment, as it relates to gravity. Specific retention is the ratio of the volume of water that is RETAINED against the pull of gravity, ...where-as specific yield is the ratio of the volume of water that is EXPELLED (yielded) against the pull of gravity. Again, ...both as a ratio to the total volume of the rock and/or sediment.

What is the difference between specific gravity and density?
Relative density, or specific gravity, is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
How to Find Volume when given mass and specific gravity of a mineral mass 2851.2g specific gravity 4.2 what is volume?
weight = mass * gravitational constant. Newtons (weight) = kg * m / sec^2 for instance.
What are 6 different properties of fluids?
Density, Viscosjty, pressure, specific weight, specific gravity, specific volume
What is the amount of mass packed into a certain volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance in a vacuum at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of water in a vacuum at a given temperature is known as?
This ratio is called the specific gravity.
