The specific gravity of materials tell us how many times is the material heavier than water. The higher the specific gravity of a material the higher the density of concrete made with and the higher will be the force require to crush it and the higher will be the corresponding strenght of the concrete

How much does a 5 gal bucket of concrete weigh?
The specific gravity of limestone concrete is 2.37. Therefore 5 gallons of concrete would weigh 94.8 pounds.
Crushed marble stone fine aggregate in concrete?
Crushed marble stone has a low absorption rate hence less water is required which means better strength. Also the marble typically has a denser specific gravity.
What is the Specific gravity of ppc?
Specific gravity of ppc is 3.15
What will be the effect on specific gravity of cement if some of the sample is lost after weighing?
There is no effect on the specific gravity if some of the sample is removed. The amount of mass will change, but it will still have the same specific gravity. It is basically a density. The specific gravity of 1lb of cement is the same as the specific gravity of 100lbs of cement, you just have more cement.
What is the difference between lean concrete and mass concrete?
Mass concrete is concrete cast without Rebars. They are good in compression and are mostly used for the construction of gravity structures such as Dams. While reinforced concrete have reinforcement bars in them, which increases the tensile strenght of the concrete.
How much is the specific gravity of concrete?
That may be strength specific and will be subject to air entrainment
The specific gravity of a product?
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material
What is the relation between API gravity and specific gravity?
API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.
What is the weight of 72 inches lenghty 24 inches diameter of the concrete block?
It is impossible to answer without knowing the density of the material that the pipe is made of and the strength of gravity at the location where the pipe is weighed.
Define specific gravity?
The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of a material and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure.
What is the expression for specific gravity when kerosene is used instead of distilled water?
Specific gravity is the ratio of density of material to the density of water, so when we use Kerosin instead of water then the value will be multiplied by the specific gravity of kerosin to get the actual specific gravity.
Does specific gravity has units?
- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
Is specific heat the same as specific gravity?
No. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kg of material by 1 K at constant pressure, while specific gravity is the ratio of the material's density to a reference density (typically water).
The specific gravity of a product can be found on the material data sheet. how do you know if a product will sink in water?
The specific gravity of water is unity. Anything with a specific gravity which is over unity will therefore sink in water.
How much does a 5 gal bucket of concrete weigh?
The specific gravity of limestone concrete is 2.37. Therefore 5 gallons of concrete would weigh 94.8 pounds.
Is 1 meter cube concrete wt depend upen material?
Yes. And the local force of gravity.
Why does specific gravity not have a unit?
Specific Gravity is a unitless number because it is the ratio between the density of the material of interest and a standard material (e.g. water). The units cancel out leaving a numerical value only.
