* Chart of API Gravity and Specific gravity

Specific gravity numerically describes the density of a mineral.

Specific gravity measures how much water a mineral sample displaces.

Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.

Specific gravity is commonly used in industry as a simple means of obtaining information about the concentration of solutions of various materials such as brines, sugar solutions ( syrups, juices, honeys, brewers wort, must, etc.

Specific gravity, also known as relative density, varies depending upon the chemical composition and crystal structure type.

Specific gravity is measured by comparing the weight of the gem in air with the weight of the gem suspended in water.

Specific gravity is the ratio of the density ( mass of a unit volume ) of a substance to the density ( mass of the same unit volume ) of a reference substance.

Specific gravity is commonly used in industry as a simple means of obtaining information about the concentration of solutions of various materials such as brines, hydrocarbons, sugar solutions ( syrups, juices, honeys, brewers wort, must etc.

Specific gravity, as it is the ratio of densities, is a dimensionless quantity.

Specific gravity varies with temperature ; reference and sample must be compared at the same temperature, or corrected to a standard reference temperature.

Specific gravity is, by definition, dimensionless and therefore independent on the system of units used ( e. g. slugs · ft < sup >− 3 </ sup > or kg · m < sup >− 3 </ sup >).

Specific gravity can be measured in a number of ways.

simple: Specific gravity

# Specific gravity — ( using a hydrometer or some sort of floating indicator ),

Specific gravity is used to measure the protein content of the fluid.

The Specific gravity of garnierite ranges from approximately 2. 5 to 3.

Specific gravity of rocks is determined by means of a balance and pycnometer.

Specific gravity, 0. 7908 ; weight of cubic foot,.

Specific gravity of solids,

* Brix, Plato, Balling, Specific gravity

* Specific inductive capacity, abbreviated to SIC, which is more commonly known as the relative permittivity or the dielectric constant

* Urine Specific Gravity ( kidney ), a measure of urine concentration or relative density

* Specific relative angular momentum

Specific relative angular momentum plays a pivotal role in the analysis of the two-body problem.

Specific relative angular momentum, represented by the symbol, is defined as the cross product of the relative position vector and the relative velocity vector.

* Specific leaf area, a botanical term describing a property of a leaf on a plant, often used as a measure of leaf " thickness "

* Specific absorption rate, a measure of the rate at which radiofrequency ( RF ) energy is absorbed by the human body

: Specific diseconomy is another term Illich used, as a measure of the degree of institutional counterproductivity that is occurring — referring to the exact degree to which, for example, the medical industry induces illness, educational institutions induce ignorance, the judicial system perpetuates injustice, or national defense may make a nation less secure.

Specific measures include the use of Key Performance Indicators to measure the performance of officials and agencies and National Key Result Areas to define goals for specific areas of public policy.

* Specific yield, a measure of aquifer capacity

Specific absorption rate ( SAR ) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency ( RF ) electromagnetic field ; although, it can also refer to absorption of other forms of energy by tissue, including ultrasound.

ACIP recommends that health-care administrators consider the level of vaccination coverage among health-care personnel ( HCP ) to be one measure of a patient safety quality program and implement policies to encourage HCP vaccination ( e. g., obtaining signed statements from HCP who decline influenza vaccination ) ( see Additional Information Regarding Vaccination of Specific Populations ).

* Specific storage or storativity: a measure of the amount of water a confined aquifer will give up for a certain change in head ;

* Specific yield or drainable porosity: a measure of the amount of water an unconfined aquifer will give up when completely drained ;

This means the measure has a Specific purpose for the business, it is Measurable to really get a value of the KPI, the defined norms have to be Achievable, the improvement of a KPI has to be Relevant to the success of the organization, and finally it must be Time phased, which means the value or outcomes are shown for a predefined and relevant period.

Specific activity is a measure of enzyme processivity, at a specific ( usually saturating ) substrate concentration, and is usually constant for a pure enzyme.

Specific mention of the kelpie as a water horse in Loch Ness was given in a Scottish newspaper in 1879, and was commemorated in the title of a book Project Water Horse by Tim Dinsdale.

Specific phobias: fear of a single specific panic trigger such as spiders, snakes, dogs, water, heights, flying, catching a specific illness, etc.

Specific humidity is a ratio of the water vapor content of the mixture to the total air content on a mass basis.

Specific chemical compounds are often added to tap water during the treatment process to adjust the pH or remove contaminants, as well as chlorine to kill biological toxins.

Specific issues include the amount of water required for irrigation and the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in maintenance, as well as the destruction of wetlands and other environmentally important areas during construction.

Specific yield ( S < sub > y </ sub >) is also a ratio between 0 and 1 ( S < sub > y </ sub > ≤ porosity ) and indicates the amount of water released due to drainage from lowering the water table in an unconfined aquifer.

It consists of five zones: the Main Zone ( 12, 000 ha ), the Wilderness Zone ( 5, 537 ha, comprising 1, 063 ha water and 4, 574 ha land ), the Intensive Utilization Zone ( 800 ha ), the Specific Utilization Zone ( 5, 780 ha ) and the Rehabilitation Zone ( 783 ha ).

Specific humidity is the proportion of the mass of water vapor per unit mass of the moist air sample ( dry air plus the water vapor ); it is closely related to humidity ratio and always lower in value.

* Specific enthalpy, symbolized by h, is the sum of the internal ( heat ) energy of the moist air in question, including the heat of the air and water vapor within.

* Specific volume is the volume of the mixture ( dry air plus the water vapor ) containing one unit of mass of “ dry air ”.

Specific examples include: giant water bugs ( Belostomatidae ), largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ), American alligator ( Alligator mississippiensis ), bullfrog ( Rana catesbeiana ), snowy egret ( Egretta thula ), and raccoon ( Procyon lotor ).

Specific capacity is a quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown.

Specific vehicles are often required to advance-for example, boats allow travel over bodies of water, while planes and helicopters allow travel through the air.

Specific objectives were to collect data on sea-surface winds, sea-surface temperatures, wave heights, internal waves, atmospheric water, sea ice features and ocean topography.

Specific examples of these applications include: analyzing ceramides and fatty acids, detection of pesticides or insecticides in food and water, analyzing the dye composition of fibers in forensics, assaying the radiochemical purity of radiopharmaceuticals, or identification of medicinal plants and their constituents
