Question

Whats the relation between specific gravity and density? i want a little detail..?

Answer 1

Specific gravity, It is mass of any substance in relation to an equal volume of water.

Density, It is the ratio of mass to volume.(a quality of being dense)

Answer 2

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a given solid or liquid substance to the density of water at a specific temperature and pressure.

Specific gravity is a ratio and therefore dimensionless. Density is a numerical expression of mass per unit volume. However, because water has a density of 1 in many measurement systems, density and specific gravity frequently have the same numerical value. It's just that one has units and the other does not.
