The density of over 150 different liquids are listed below. While the data is useful for design, individual samples
will differ. Temperature and purity will often have a marked influence. As 1000kg of pure water @ 4C = 1 cubic metre, those materials under 1000kg/cubic metre will float; more dense will sink ie. those materials with a specific gravity more than 1. More detailed data on water is on another page. Pure water at 4C (max. density) was chosen as the 'base line' for specific gravity and given the value of 1. Some other standards set pure water at 60F as sg = 1 so it is more correct to state the base used. The specific gravity of all other materials are compared to water as a fraction heavier or lighter density. For example, acetic acid has a specific gravity (sg) of 1.0491 while acetone has a sg of 0.785 (784.58 kg/cu.m) see table below. As specific gravity is just a comparison, it can be applied across any units. The density of pure water is also 62.4 lbs/cu.ft (pounds per cubic foot) and if we know that a sample of ethyl alcohol has a sg of 0.785 then we can calculate that its density is 0.785 x 62.4 = 49 lbs/cu.ft. Note, kg/cu.m divided by 16.02 = lbs/cu.ft. kg/cu.m divided by 1,000 = g/ml (grams per millilitre) and also = kg/L (1000g = 1 kg and 1000ml = 1 Litre) [ density of materials ] [ density of wood ] [ density of metals ] [ density of water ] Related pages " Home page " Info on SI Units Liquid Temp kg/cu.m " SI Unit Descriptions 1,1,2-Trichlorotrifluoroethane 25 C 1564.00 " SI Derived Units " SI Prefixes (mega, giga) 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene 20 C 1454.00 " Imperial/UK Units 1,4-Dioxane 20 C 1033.60 " Scientific Notation 2-Methoxyethanol 20 C 964.60 --(i.e. what is 1.00E+09) Detail pages Acetic Acid 25 C 1049.10 " Feet to metres calculator Acetone 25 C 784.58 " Metres to feet calculator Acetonitrile 20 C 782.20 " British Thermal Units Btu " Density of bulk materials Alcohol, ethyl 25 C 785.06 " Density of liquids Alcohol, methyl 25 C 786.51 " Specific Gravity of water " Density of metals Alcohol, propyl 25 C 799.96 " Density of woods Ammonia (aqua) 25 C 823.35 " Kitchen metric Analine 25 C 1018.93 " Medical metric " Parts per million - ppm Automobile oils 15 C 880 - 940 " Clothing metric Beer (varies) 10 C 1010 " Yarn metric " Time Benzene 25 C 873.81 " cc to hp Benzil 25 C 1079.64 " Paper & Envelopes Brine 15 C 1230 " Gross to Nett price " Nett to Gross price Bromine 25 C 3120.40 " Add on Commission Butyric Acid 20 C 959 " Sheet metal swg - mm " Wire & rod swg - awg Butane 25 C 599.09 " Electrical wire swg - awg n-Butyl Acetate 20 C 879.60 " Steam tables (4 pages)
