Formula Summary
Result: 1 gram per cubic centimeter = 1 specific gravity
Formula: (1 x 1000) / 1000
Rounding: Displayed to 6 decimal places by default, trimmed for readability. Use Detailed or Scientific for more precision.
Real World Context
1 specific gravity is approximately:
- very close to fresh water, which is about 1000 kg/m3
Unit Story
Gram per cubic centimeter
Grams per cubic centimeter is convenient for solids and liquids. Water is close to 1 g/cm3, aluminum is about 2.7 g/cm3, and steel is commonly near 7.8 g/cm3.
Specific gravity
Specific gravity compares a material with water and has no unit. A value below 1 is less dense than the reference water; a value above 1 is denser.
How This Conversion Works
Gram per cubic centimeter and specific gravity are both used for density conversions. This page converts 1 gram per cubic centimeter into 1 specific gravity using the formula shown below.
Use this result for quick checks, comparisons, and everyday reference. For work that depends on exact precision, review the rounding setting and the assumption note before using the number.
The precision controls let you switch between a shorter result, the standard readable result, and scientific notation when the value is very large or very small.
Unit Notes
- 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) equals 1000 kilogram per cubic meter.
- 1 specific gravity (SG) equals 1000 kilogram per cubic meter.
