Specific Gravity (1.002 â 1.035). 1  Specific gravity of urine is a measure of the amount of solutes dissolved in urine as compared to water (1.000). 2  Specific Gravity measures the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the urine and is directly proportional to urine osmolality (solute concentration). Specific Gravity measures the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the urine and is directly proportional to urine osmolality (solute concentration). 2  Specific gravity between 1.002 and 1.035 on a random sample is normal IF kidney function is normal.
