topofmurrayhill Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I just wanted to add that the underlying physical characteristic we are talking about here is density (weight per volume). Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a given substance to the density of water; so it is a relative term. Density, and thus specific gravity, are temperature dependent terms.I love having a chemist around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
