relative density

Relative density is a dimensionless ratio of the densities of two materials. The term specific gravity is similar, except that the reference material is water. A relative density can help quantify the buoyancy between two materials, or determine the density of one "unknown" material using the "known" density of another material. Mathematically, relative density is expressed as:

Noun
1. the ratio of the density of something to the density of a standard
(hypernym) density, denseness
(hyponym) specific gravity

1. The ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of a standard substance at the same temperature. For example, if 1 cubic inch of water at 39 degrees F weighs 1 unit and 1 cubic inch of another solid or liquid at 39 degrees F weight 0.95 unit, then the relative density of the substance is 0.95. In determining the relative density of gases, the comparison is made with the standard of air or hydrogen. 2. The ratio of the mass of a given volume of a substance to the mass of a like volume of a standard substance, such as Water or Air
