The purest water, is given the value of one (1) or unity. Unity is just a term that unites the number one (1) to a specific item. So that in the future you can relate another substance, to the substance given the value of Unity. Any substance lighter then water, like oil has a lower specific gravity. Any substance heavier then water, has a higher specific gravity. Some oils have a specific gravity of around 0.85 Some heavy substances like strong nitric acid have a specific gravity of around 1.4 Substances do not have to be liquids. They can be solids.

Do diabetics have a high or low specific gravity?
A person's glucose control is completely unrelated to his specific gravity.
What is the Specific gravity of acetone?
specific gravity of acetone is 0.79
The specific gravity of a product?
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material
What is specific gravity of feldspar?
The specific gravity of a substance is the ration of its density to some standard, almost always water for liquids or solids. In this case, Feldspar has a specific gravity of about 2.6.
What is the relationship between density and specific gravity?
There is a very great relationship between density and specific gravity. Density contributes to the weight of a substance under specific gravity.
Are metals generally have low specific gravity?
No.
Do diabetics have a high or low specific gravity?
A person's glucose control is completely unrelated to his specific gravity.
What does Low specific gravity in urine mean?
You are dehydrated and you need to increase your fluid intake.
What is light oil?
Light oil has a low density and flows freely when found in room temperature. It also has low specific gravity and low viscosity.
Is urine specific gravity of 1.004 low?
Yes, it is very low. In some circumstances a very low urine specific gravity in combination with frequent urination and clear or nearly colorless urine can indicate that you might have diabetes insipidus. This is s serious medical condition that you should consult your doctor about.
What does low specific gravity means in materials?
It means that the material has a low density. The practical implication is that a lot of it doesn't weigh much.
What is diamonds specific gravity?
The specific gravity of diamond is 3.5, which is 'above average'.
What is the specific gravity of magnetite?
There is no such thing as a specific gravity for any element.
What is the specific gravity for aluminum?
Aluminum has no specific gravity, at least by the current definition of gravity.
What is heliums specific gravity?
helium doesn't have a specific gravity
What is the Specific gravity of ppc?
Specific gravity of ppc is 3.15
What is the specific gravity of mica?
mica has the specific gravity of 2.88
