Specific Gravity Calculator
📐 Physics of Matter. Use the Specific gravity formula to find specific gravity, density, water density: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
Specific gravity13.6
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Specific gravity | no unit |
| Density | kg/m³ |
| Water density | kg/m³ |
Worked example
Find the specific gravity when Density = 13600 kg/m³, Water density = 1000 kg/m³.
Using SG =: Specific gravity = 13.6.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Specific gravity?
SG =.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Specific gravity, Density in kg/m³, Water density in kg/m³.
How do you calculate specific gravity?
Put the values into SG =. For example, with Density = 13600 kg/m³, Water density = 1000 kg/m³, specific gravity = 13.6.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (specific gravity, density, water density) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
