Density and specific gravity are used interchangeably, which is formally incorrect. The difference is the following: density is mass per unit volume of a material at 73°F (23°C); specific gravity is the mass of a given volume of material at 73°F (23°C) divided by an equal volume of water at the same temperature. The conversion is: density = spe...

See under Relative Density. Relative density This unit of measurement (also called specific density) describes the quotient of two densities as a dimensionless size ratio. In viticulture, this is the weight ratio between the density of wine or grape must and the same density of water (with density 1,000) at a measuring temperature of 20 °Cels...

A measure of the weight of a liquid. Fresh water at 4°C (39°F) is given a value of one. If the liquid you are questioning will float on water the specific gravity is less than one. If it sinks, it is higher than one. Density is a better term.

A measure of the density or mass of a solution, such as must or wine, as a ratio to an equal volume of a standardized substance, such as distilled water. Before fermentation, the density of the must or juice is high because sugar is dissolved in it, making it thicker than plain water. As the sugar is converted by the yeast into alcohol and carbon d...
