Discover the specific gravity of liquids with our easy-to-use calculator. Understand how liquids compare in density to a reference substance like water. Quickly determine relative density for various applications, from industrial processes to scientific research. Input the liquid's density and the reference fluid's density to get instant, accurate results for liquid specific gravity.
Formula:
Specific Gravity (SG) = (Density of Liquid) / (Density of Reference Substance)
Where:
- Density of Liquid (ρliquid): The mass per unit volume of the liquid (e.g., in g/cm3 or kg/m3).
- Density of Reference Substance (ρreference): The mass per unit volume of the reference substance (typically water at 4°C, which is 1 g/cm3 or 1000 kg/m3). Ensure units are consistent with liquid density.
