Specific Gravity ↔ Density

Convert specific gravity to density using a stated water reference, default 1000 kg/m³.

Fluid & PressureEngineering Fundamentals

Convert specific gravity to density using a stated water reference, default 1000 kg/m³.

App id: FLUID-09. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill 1 values. The tool solves the rest.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

SG = ρ / ρ_ref

Inputs

NameUnit
Specific gravity1
Densitykg/m3
Reference density (optional)kg/m3

Outputs

NameUnit
Density (hero result)kg/m3

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Leave reference density blank for 1000 kg/m³ (pure water at ~4 °C, not 998 at 20 °C).

Provenance

  • SG is relative to the stated reference density.
