Convert Gram per Milliliter to Specific Gravity
Enter the number of grams per milliliter that you want to convert to specific gravity.
How to Convert Grams per Milliliter to Specific Gravity
The gram per milliliter and specific gravity are both units of density. By definition, 1 gram per milliliter equals exactly 1 specific gravity. This means to convert grams per milliliter to specific gravity, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 g/mL to specific gravity:
We need to convert grams per milliliter to specific gravity
Since 1 g/mL = 1 SG, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 g/mL = 5 SG

About These Units
Gram per Milliliter (g/mL)
Grams per milliliter (g/mL) is the standard for liquid medications, food products, and laboratory work. Numerically equal to g/cm³ and kg/L. Drug concentrations, IV fluids, and cooking ingredients often use g/mL. Water: 1 g/mL at 4°C.
Specific Gravity (SG)
Specific gravity (SG) is the dimensionless ratio of a substance's density to water at 4°C. Water = 1.0 by definition. Gasoline: 0.72-0.78. Honey: 1.4. Mercury: 13.6. Gold: 19.3. Also called relative density. Objects with SG < 1 float in water.
