Convert SG to g/cm³
Input the number of specific gravity you want to convert to grams per cubic centimeter.
How to Convert Specific Gravity to Grams per Cubic Centimeter
The specific gravity and gram per cubic centimeter are both units of density. By definition, 1 specific gravity equals exactly 1 grams per cubic centimeter. This means to convert specific gravity to grams per cubic centimeter, you multiply by 1.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 SG to grams per cubic centimeter:
We need to convert specific gravity to grams per cubic centimeter
Since 1 SG = 1 g/cm³, multiply by 1
5 × 1 = 5
5 SG = 5 g/cm³

About These Units
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.
Gram per Cubic Centimeter (g/cm³)
Grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) is numerically equal to g/mL and kg/L. Water is ~1 g/cm³, making it the reference for specific gravity. Common densities: aluminum 2.7 g/cm³, iron 7.87 g/cm³, gold 19.3 g/cm³. Standard unit in chemistry and mineralogy.
