• This Displacement Vessel is for specific gravity experiments.

(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...Specific Gravity (SG) is a special case of relative density.

It is defined as the ratio of the density of a given substance, to the density of water (H2O). Substances with a specific gravity greater than 1 are heavier than water, and those with a specific gravity of less than 1 are lighter than water.

SG = ρ s u b s t a n c e ρ H 2 O {\displaystyle {\mbox{SG}}={\frac {\rho _{\mathrm {substance} }}{\rho _{\mathrm {H2O} }}}} [1]

SG is by definition dimensionless and therefore not dependent on the system of units used (e.g. slugsft−3 or kgm−3), assuming that the units are consistent. Based on the SG-value of a given substance, the density of that substance can be calculated...")
