2022: Specific Gravity of Distilled Water (& Formula, Definition, Infographic)

Definition

The specific gravity of distilled water is the ratio of the density of distilled water to that of a reference substance (Usually water).

So specific gravity is close to 1 if you relate to water itself.

Formula

SG = ρdistilled water / ρwater

Note: Both densities need to be in the same unit as they will cancel each other and produce SG.

Specific Gravity vs Density vs Specific Weight

There are important differences between density, specific weight and specific gravity. Follow these links to learn about the differences between them.

I will provide you the distilled water specific gravity in a dimensionless unit (Unitless) in this page. You may check how it converts to kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³ by following the link below:

Specific gravity values are not very useful. Why not check the density of distilled water (all units)?
