Specific Gravity Converter
Convert specific gravity to density in various units. Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance density to water density.
kg/m³
1,025.0
Formula
## Specific Gravity **Specific Gravity = Density of Substance / Density of Water** Since water density is 1 g/cm³ (or 1000 kg/m³ at 4°C), specific gravity is numerically equal to density in g/cm³. ### Quick Conversions - **kg/m³** = SG x 1,000 - **g/cm³** = SG x 1 - **lb/ft³** = SG x 62.428 - **lb/gal** = SG x 8.345
Exemplo Resolvido
Convert SG 1.025 (seawater).
- 01kg/m³ = 1.025 x 1000 = 1025
- 02g/cm³ = 1.025
- 03lb/ft³ = 1.025 x 62.428 = 63.99
- 04lb/gal = 1.025 x 8.345 = 8.554
Perguntas Frequentes
What does a specific gravity of 1 mean?
A specific gravity of 1.0 means the substance has the same density as water. Values above 1 are denser (sink in water), below 1 are less dense (float).
What is the specific gravity of common materials?
Water: 1.0, seawater: 1.025, gasoline: 0.72, honey: 1.42, mercury: 13.6, aluminum: 2.7, steel: 7.8, gold: 19.3.
