Formula

Formula
g/cm³ = SG × 1

Multiply any value in specific gravity (water) by 1 to obtain the value in grams per cubic centimetre.

Worked example

Convert 0.85 SG to g/cm³.

  1. 01Start with 0.85 SG.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 0.85 × 1 = 0.85 g/cm³.
Result0.85 SG = 0.85 g/cm³

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from SG to g/cm³?
1 SG equals 1 g/cm³. To convert, multiply the value in specific gravity (water) by 1.
How do I convert 1 SG to g/cm³?
1 SG = 1 g/cm³. For any value, multiply by 1.
How do I convert g/cm³ back to SG?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1. So 1 g/cm³ = 1 SG.
When would I need to convert specific gravity (water) to gram per cubic centimetre?
Density conversions are critical for fluid property datasheets, hydraulic head calculations, and reconciling lab measurements (often g/cm³) with process simulator inputs (kg/m³).
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both SG and g/cm³ are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
