Basic formulas

Relative body (RD) or specific force (SG) is a dimensionless quantity, as it is the arrangement of either densities or weights

RD = \frac{\rho_\mathrm{substance}}{\rho_\mathrm{reference}}\,

where RD is about density, ρsubstance is the body of the actuality getting measured, and ρreference is the body of the reference. (By assemblage ρ, the Greek letter rho, denotes density.)

The advertence actual can be adumbrated application subscripts: RDsubstance/reference, which agency "the about body of actuality with annual to reference". If the advertence is not absolutely declared again it is commonly affected to be baptize at 4 °C (or, added precisely, 3.98 °C, which is the temperature at which baptize alcove its best density). In SI units, the body of baptize is (approximately) 1000 kg/m3 or 1 g/cm3, which makes about body calculations decidedly convenient: the body of the commodity alone needs to be disconnected by 1000 or 1, depending on the units.

The about body of gases is generally abstinent with annual to dry air at a temperature of 20 °C and a burden of 101.325 kPa absolute, which has a body of 1.205 kg/m3. About body with annual to air can be acquired by

\mbox{RD} = \frac{\rho_\mathrm{gas}}{\rho_{\mathrm{air}}} \approx \frac{M_\mathrm{gas}}{M_{\mathrm{air}}}

Where M is the molar accumulation and the about according assurance is acclimated because adequation pertains alone if 1 mol of the gas and 1 mol of air absorb the aforementioned aggregate at a accustomed temperature and burden i.e. they are both Ideal gases. Ideal behaviour is usually alone credible at actual low pressure. For example, one mol of an ideal gas occupies 22.414 L at 0 °C and 1 atmosphere admitting carbon dioxide has a molar aggregate of 22.259 L beneath those aforementioned conditions.

edit Temperature dependence

See Body for a table of the abstinent densities of baptize at assorted temperatures.

The body of substances varies with temperature and burden so that it is all-important to specify the temperatures and pressures at which the densities or weights were determined. It is about consistently the case that abstracts are fabricated at nominally 1 atmosphere (101.325 kPa the variations acquired by alteration acclimate patterns) but as specific force usually refers to awful incompressible aqueous solutions or added incompressible substances (such as petroleum products) variations in body acquired by burden are usually alone at atomic area credible specific force is getting measured. For accurate (in vacuo) specific force calculations air burden have to be advised (see below). Temperatures are defined by the characters Ts/Tr) with Ts apery the temperature at which the sample's body was bent and Tr the temperature at which the advertence (water) body is specified. For archetype SG (20°C/4°C) would be accepted to beggarly that the body of the sample was bent at 20 °C and of the baptize at 4 °C. Taking into annual altered sample and advertence temperatures we agenda that while SGH2O = 1.000000 (20°C/20°C) it is aswell the case that SGH2O = 0.998203/0.998840 = 0.998363 (20°C/4°C). Actuality temperature is getting defined application the accepted ITS-90 calibration and the densities4 acclimated actuality and in the blow of this commodity are based on that scale. On the antecedent IPTS-68 calibration the densities at 20 °C and 4 °C are, respectively, 0.9982071 and 0.9999720 consistent in an SG (20°C/4°C) amount for baptize of 0.9982343.

The temperatures of the two abstracts may be absolutely declared in the body symbols; for example:

about density: 8.15_{4^\circ \mathrm{C}}^{20^\circ \mathrm{C}} \, or specific gravity: 2.432_0^{15}

where the superscript indicates the temperature at which the body of the actual is measured, and the subscript indicates the temperature of the advertence actuality to which it is compared.
