What is relation between density and specific gravity?
Specific gravity, also called relative density, ratio of the density of a substance to that of a standard substance. Standard substance is mostly water at 4 degree Celsius. The density of water is 1,000 kilograms per meter cubed. For instance, the density of gold is 19,300 kilograms per meter cubed. So the specific gravity of gold is 19.3. The density of ketchup is 1,400 kilograms per meter cubed. So the specific gravity of ketchup up is 1.4. Note, there's no units for specific gravity, because it's the ratio of one density to another density. So the units cancel each other out.
How to Calculate Density of Substance given Specific Gravity?
Density of Substance given Specific Gravity calculator uses Density of Substance = Specific Gravity of Material*1000 to calculate the Density of Substance, The Density of substance given specific gravity formula is defined as the relative weight of that liquid compared to an equal volume of water. Density of Substance is denoted by ρ symbol.
