Convert Specific Gravity to Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter
Type the number of specific gravity that you wish to convert to kilograms per cubic centimeter.
How to Convert Specific Gravity to Kilograms per Cubic Centimeter
The specific gravity and kilogram per cubic centimeter are both units of density. By definition, 1 kilogram per cubic centimeter equals exactly 1000 specific gravity. This means to convert specific gravity to kilograms per cubic centimeter, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 SG to kilograms per cubic centimeter:
We need to convert specific gravity to kilograms per cubic centimeter
Since 1 kg/cm³ = 1000 SG, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 SG = 0.005 kg/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.
Kilogram per Cubic Centimeter (kg/cm³)
Kilograms per cubic centimeter (kg/cm³) equals 1,000,000 kg/m³ or 1,000 g/cm³. Used for extremely dense materials in specialized engineering. Osmium, the densest element: 0.0226 kg/cm³. Nuclear matter approaches 0.2 kg/cm³.
