Density of Ocean Water 2022

Definition

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

Density of Ocean Water

𝛒 = 1.02634 g/cm³

𝛒 = 1026.34 kg/m³

𝛒 = 1.02634 g/ml
𝛒 = 1026.34 g/L

𝛒 = 64.0723 lb/ft³
