Specific Gravity Measurement

Specific gravity is the heaviness of a substance compared to that of water, and it is expressed without units. In the metric system specific gravity is the same as in the English system. If something is 7.85 times as heavy as an equal volume of water (such as iron is) its specific gravity is 7.85. Its density is 7.85 grams per cubic centimeter, or 7.85 kilograms per liter, or 7.85 metric tons per cubic meter.

 


Products & Services
Density and specific gravity instruments are meters used to determine density and specific gravity.
Pycnometers are glass or metal containers with a determined volume. Typically, they are used to determine the density of liquids and their dispersions
Density test equipment is used to test the density of materials.
Hydrometers are calibrated glass floats used to determine the specific gravity of a liquid.
Purge controllers and indicators are used to regulate and monitor hazardous environments within enclosures.
