...permanent record of the readings made for future reference. The specific gravity of the electrolyte is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Acid is heavier than water, and hence the heavier the electrolyte, the more acid it...

...or nearly at right angles, while quartz has no cleavage. Specific Gravity. The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water, the weight of water being taken as 1.0. Thus quartz has a specific gravity of approximately...

...term specific gravity is perhaps more familiar to some than density. The specific gravity of a body is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Since the weight of a cubic centimeter of water is 1 g., the figure 1 represents both...

...gravity of cork is = 0.24. Specific gravity is given as a 62.5 decimal. The specific gravity of a gas- is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of either air or hydrogen, at the same pressure as the gas. Thus, the specific gravity of coal-gas...

...co-volume may be assumed to be 1/1000 of the specific volume. The specific gravity of an explosive is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water at standard temperature. The density of an explosive is its mass per unit volume. If...

...weights of aggregates are given in ASTM C29. g. Specific Gravity. The specific gravity of an aggregate is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Most normal-weight aggregates have specific gravities of 2.4 to 2.9. Methods of determining...

...by the radius of the maximum inscribed circle, R. Specific Gravity The specific gravity of a mineral is the ratio of its weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. Most sediment consists of quartz or feldspar particles, which are about 2.65 times...
