FAQ

What is the conversion factor from SG to slug/ft³?
1 SG equals 1.94032 slug/ft³. To convert, multiply the value in specific gravity (water) by 1.94032.
How do I convert 1 SG to slug/ft³?
1 SG = 1.94032 slug/ft³. For any value, multiply by 1.94032.
How do I convert slug/ft³ back to SG?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.5153788. So 1 slug/ft³ = 0.515379 SG.
When would I need to convert specific gravity (water) to slug per cubic foot?
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?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
