Specific Gravity is unitless. To determine the specific gravity of something you take the density of the substance divided by the density of water (assuming both densities are in the same units ie: g/cm^3, or lb/in^3
So for platinum, whose density is 21.45grams/cm^3 you would take (21.45g/cm^3)/(1g/cm^3(this is the density of water)), so specific gravity=21.45
This would be the same answer is you had your densities in terms of lbs.

If water has specific gravity 62.4 pounds per cubic feet what is the specific gravity of ice?
The specific gravity of ice would also be 0.917, as it is the same as the specific gravity of water because both ice and water are forms of the same substance, H2O.
8.0 cm3 of platinum are found to have a mass of 171.2 g Determine the density and specific gravity of platinum?
The density is the mass per volume; so that 171.2 g/8.0 cm3 = 21.4 g/cm3. The specific gravity is the density of the substance divided by the density of water at its greatest density (21.4 g/cm3)/(1 g/cm3) = 21.4NOTE: While density gas units of g/cm3, specific gravity has no units as they cancel out in the previous equation
What is the specific gravity of aluminum in pounds?
Specific gravity is not measured in pounds. It is a dimensionless quantity, which results by dividing (in this case) the density of aliminium, by the density of a reference substance, usually water. The result of the division will be the same, whether you use international units (SI, i.e. metric), or obsolete units.
How much weight one barrel of asphalt will be?
Liquid asphalt has a specific gravity range from 0.98 to 1.02. Typically, a specific gravity of 1.0 is used. This can vary with the type of asphalt and the temperature of the asphalt. A specific gravity of 1.0 is the same as water measured at the reference temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This specific gravity of 1.0 corresponds to a density (or specific weight) of 1 gram per cubic centimeter (1 g/cm3) or 62.4 pounds per cubic foot (62.4 lb/ft3) or 8.34 pounds per gallon (8.34 lb/gal)
What is the Specific gravity of acetone?
The specific gravity of acetone is approximately 0.79 at 20°C.
How do you convert pound LPG to gallons?
To convert pounds of LPG to gallons, you need to know the specific gravity of the LPG. Once you have the specific gravity, divide the number of pounds by the specific gravity to get the equivalent volume in gallons.
How do I convert 216 cubic mm to grams of platinum?
multiply 216 by the specific gravity of platignum
How do you convert volume into weight using specific gravity?
start with known values Specific gravity = 1.0 for water weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/8.36 pounds per gallon = 11.96 gallons ------------------------------------ Specific gravity = 1.5 for unknown liquid weight = 100 pounds 100pounds/ (8.36 pounds per gallon of water * 1.5) = 7.97 gallons At least that's how I wuold do it....

How much elephants would be 150000 pounds?
Depends on the gravity, and the weight of the elephants. Be more specific...
How many pounds in 1 barrel of propylene?
There are typically about 420-460 pounds of propylene in one barrel, depending on the specific gravity of the propylene.
When does a specific gravity of 2.509 equal a density of 50 pounds per cubic foot?
Never. The specific gravity of a substance is its density compared to water. If that happens to be 2.509, then any amount of the substance weighs 2.509 times as much as an equal amount of water. One cubic foot of water weighs about 62.4 pounds, so one cubic foot of the substance you've described weighs about 156.6 pounds. "50 pounds per cubic foot" means that the specific gravity is about 0.80 .
What is the specific gravity of stainless steel?
Steel has a Specific Gravity of 7.83. This means that a cubic foot of steel weighs 7.83 times more than a cubic foot of water (which weighs 62.4 pounds)

What is the length of each side of a 100.0 gram cube of platinum?
Specific gravity of platinum = 21.37 (at 20 deg.C). 100 gramme / 21.37 = 4.6795 cu.cm. 4.67951/3 = 1.6726 cm. each side of the cube.
How do you convert specific gravity 0.8349 to pounds per gallon?
For this I will use water as the unit of measure. Based on the lbs per gallon of water @ 4 degrees Celsius which is 8.33 8.33 is a specific gravity of 1 The equation to determine lbs per gallon using a basis of water lbs per gal = (sg * 8.33) So if you have 0.8349 as your specific gravity: (0.8349 * 8.33) = 6.954717 (lbs per gal) The equation to convert pounds to gallons of a different fluid that has a variable specific gravity would be: gallons = lbs / (sg * 8.33) If I have 5 pounds of a lubricant with a SG of 1.2 5 / (1.2 * 8.33) = 0.5 (gallons) http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-gallons-pounds-d_1710.html
