Density and Specific Gravity

Density conversion is essential for materials science, fluid mechanics, and quality control. Relates mass, volume, and material properties.

Density Basics

Density = mass/volume. SI unit: kg/m³. Common units: g/cm³, lb/ft³. Water = 1000 kg/m³ = 1 g/cm³ at standard conditions.

Material Properties

Density determines buoyancy, structural load calculations, and material identification. Critical for engineering design and manufacturing.

Specific Gravity

Ratio of material density to water density. Dimensionless number. SG > 1 sinks in water, SG < 1 floats.

Common Applications

Materials testing, quality control, fluid mechanics, petroleum industry, chemical processing, and geological surveys.

Conversion Tips

Water density ≈ 1 g/cm³. Aluminum ≈ 2.7 g/cm³. Steel ≈ 7.8 g/cm³. Lead ≈ 11.3 g/cm³. Density varies with temperature.
