Convert Specific Gravity to Kilogram per Cubic Meter
Input the number of specific gravity you want to convert to kilograms per cubic meter.
How to Convert Specific Gravity to Kilograms per Cubic Meter
The specific gravity and kilogram per cubic meter are both units of density. By definition, 1 specific gravity equals exactly 1000 kilograms per cubic meter. This means to convert specific gravity to kilograms per cubic meter, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 SG to kilograms per cubic meter:
We need to convert specific gravity to kilograms per cubic meter
Since 1 SG = 1000 kg/m³, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 SG = 5000 kg/m³

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 Meter (kg/m³)
Kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) is the SI unit of density. Water is exactly 1000 kg/m³ at 4°C. Air at sea level: ~1.225 kg/m³. Steel: 7,850 kg/m³. Gold: 19,300 kg/m³. Used in engineering, physics, and material science for mass-to-volume calculations.
