Specific Gravity of Liquids

Specific gravity of a liquid is a way to compare its density to that of water. It’s a ratio that shows whether the liquid is heavier or lighter than water without using units. If a liquid’s specific gravity is 1, it has the same density as water. If it's less than 1, it’s lighter, and if more than 1, it’s heavier. This measurement is useful in many fields like engineering and science to identify or analyze liquids, as it provides a quick understanding of how dense the liquid is relative to water.
