Density and specific gravity are both used to describe mass and can be used to compare substances. However, they are not identical measures
The words ‘taken to have the value’ are important here, as the value of maximum density cannot be known exactly (nor, for that matter, can the temperature of 4 °C be realised exactly).
Our research and measurement solutions support innovation and product development. We work with companies to deliver business advantage and commercial success.
