In more general terms specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a material to that of any standard substance, although usually this is water at 4 degrees Celsius or 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit. By definition, water has a density of 1 kg per litre at this temperature. The specific gravities of gases usually are compared to dry air which generally has a density of 1.29 g per litre. The specific gravity of all other materials is compared to water as a fraction heavier lighter or heavier density.
The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of an object, and a reference substance. Usually, our reference substance is water. The specific gravity can tell us, based on its value, if the object will sink or float in our reference substance.esson Summary. The specific gravity of an object is the ratio between the density of an object to a reference object. Usually, our reference object is water, which has a density of 1 g/mL or 1 g/cm^3.
