Formula
t/m³ = SG × 1
Multiply any value in specific gravity (water) by 1 to obtain the value in metric tonnes per cubic metre.
Worked example
Convert 0.85 SG to t/m³.
- 01Start with 0.85 SG.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 0.85 × 1 = 0.85 t/m³.
Result0.85 SG = 0.85 t/m³

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from SG to t/m³?
1 SG equals 1 t/m³. To convert, multiply the value in specific gravity (water) by 1.
How do I convert 1 SG to t/m³?
1 SG = 1 t/m³. For any value, multiply by 1.
How do I convert t/m³ back to SG?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1. So 1 t/m³ = 1 SG.
When would I need to convert specific gravity (water) to metric tonne per cubic metre?
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).
