This specific gravity reference table shows the specific gravity for a range of substance density values, assuming a reference density (water) of 1,000 kg/m³. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Specific Gravity Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Substance density | Specific gravity |
|---|---|
| 260 kg/m³ | 0.2600 |
| 510 kg/m³ | 0.5100 |
| 770 kg/m³ | 0.7700 |
| 1,000 kg/m³ | 1.0000 |
| 1,500 kg/m³ | 1.5000 |
| 2,100 kg/m³ | 2.1000 |
| 3,100 kg/m³ | 3.1000 |
| 5,100 kg/m³ | 5.1000 |
| 7,200 kg/m³ | 7.2000 |
| 10,000 kg/m³ | 10.0000 |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your substance density and read across to the specific gravity. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Specific Gravity Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Specific Gravity Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
