Specific Gravity Of Syrup Calculator

Work out specific gravity of syrup instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Specific Gravity Of Syrup Calculator

Divides sample mass by volume to give density, which equals specific gravity when water is taken as 1.000 g/mL.

Formula

Specific gravity

SG = mass (g) / volume (mL) at the stated temperature, taking water as 1.000 g/mL

Worked example

With the default values below, Specific Gravity Of Syrup Calculator returns Specific gravity of 1.3000. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Inputs used

Mass of the sampleaccepts 0.1–10,000 g: 130 g
Volume of the sampleaccepts 0.1–10,000 mL: 100 mL

Results

Specific gravity: 1.3000
Density: 1.3000 g/mL
Mass of 500 mL: 650.0 g
Volume occupied by 100 g: 76.92 mL

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the specific gravity of simple syrup?

BP syrup at 66.7% w/w sucrose has a specific gravity of about 1.315 to 1.333.

Why does temperature matter?

Liquids expand when warmed, so specific gravity must be quoted at a stated temperature, usually 20 or 25 degrees Celsius.
