Specific Gravity
The relative weight or density of a solid or fluid expressed by the ratio
of its weight to that
of an equal volume of a substance taken as a standard, water in the case
of liquids and
solids, air for gases. e.g. Water = 1.Other examples –Whisky = 0.90,
Turpentine = 0.86, Kerosene = 0.80, Fruit Juice = 1.34, Phosphoric Acid
= 1.8 – 1.9, Bromine Trifluoride = 2.49, Aviation Fuel = 0.63 –
0.79. The higher the SG, the smaller the tank will be, all things being
equal. |
