To calculate Density (D) from Specific Gravity (SG):
\[ D = SG \times Dr \]
Where:
Converting a specific gravity into a density is as simple as multiplying the SG by the reference density for which it was based. In most cases, this is the density of water, and therefore you multiply the SG by 1 to yield your density in g/cm3.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ D = 50 \times 2 = 100 \text{ g/cm}^3 \]
The density of the substance is 100 g/cm3.
What is the density of water?
Standard fresh water has a density of 1 g/cm3.
