How to Calculate Specific Gravity?
Specific Gravity calculator uses Specific Gravity of Liquid 1 = Density of Substance/Water Density to calculate the Specific Gravity of Liquid 1, Specific Gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water. Essentially, it compares how heavy a substance is compared to water. If a substance has a specific gravity less than 1, it is less dense than water and will float. If it is more than 1, it is denser than water and will sink. Specific Gravity of Liquid 1 is denoted by S1 symbol.
How to calculate Specific Gravity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Gravity, enter Density of Substance (ρs) & Water Density (ρwater) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Gravity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.013 = 13/1000.
