Density of Blood

Definition

The density of blood is the weight of the blood per its volume.

Formula

ρ = m / V

• ρ:  Density
• m: mass
• V: Volume

Density vs Specific Weight vs Specific Gravity

I would like to point out that there are conceptual differences between density, specific weight and specific gravity. Follow the link if you want to learn more about these differences.

With that said, this page will provide you the blood density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.

Density of Blood (Average, 37 °C)

𝛒 = 1.06 g/cm³

𝛒 = 1060 kg/m³

𝛒 = 1.06 g/ml
𝛒 = 1060 g/L

𝛒 = 66.17 lb/ft³
