Density of Freshwater 2022

Definition

The density of freshwater is the weight of the freshwater 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 freshwater density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.

Density of Freshwater

𝛒 = 0.997048 g/cm³

𝛒 = 997.0476 kg/m³

𝛒 = 0.997048 g/ml
𝛒 = 997.048 g/L

𝛒 = 62.2436 lb/ft³
