Work out specific gravity of syrup instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Divides sample mass by volume to give density, which equals specific gravity when water is taken as 1.000 g/mL.
Specific gravity
SG = mass (g) / volume (mL) at the stated temperature, taking water as 1.000 g/mL
Educational estimate only. Not a substitute for professional clinical judgement, and must not be used to make treatment or dosing decisions.
BP syrup at 66.7% w/w sucrose has a specific gravity of about 1.315 to 1.333.
Liquids expand when warmed, so specific gravity must be quoted at a stated temperature, usually 20 or 25 degrees Celsius.
