It is a small glass bottle usually of 25 or 50 c.c. capacity with a slight conical neck. It is fitted with a ground glass stopper which has a fine bore along the whole length. When the bottle is completely filled with any liquid and the stopper is fitted to the mouth, the excess of the liquid flows out through the hole in the stopper. Thus, the inside volume of the bottle is always kept constant. This bottle is used to find out the specific gravity of a solid in the form of powder or small fragments, and of liquid also.
Let the weight of the empty bottle = W1 gm.
The weight of the bottle +powder put inside = W2 gm.
Weight of the powder = (W2-W1) gm.
Weight of the bottle + powder water to fill the rest of the bottle = W3 gm.
Now pour out all the contents of the bottle and fill it up with pure water taking care to remove any air bubbles from inside. Let the weight of the bottle when full of water =W4 gm.
Weight of an equal volume of water as that of the powder = (W4-W1) - (W3-W2) gm.

How many oz in a water bottle?
1 bottle of water in a oz= 250 gm**
2 bottle of water in a oz= 500 gm
½ (half) a bottle of water = 125 gm
¼ (quarter) a bottle of water= 62.5 gm
⅛ a bottle of water in oz=31.25 gm

How you can measure specific gravity of Diesel?
no
How do you measure of how salty water is?
Specific gravity.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
You would like to convert specific gravity to dencity?
It is spelled "density" and specific gravity is a measure of density and so does not need to be converted.
What is the difference between streak and specific gravity?
Streak: The powder mark left by a mineral when it is rubbed against a harder object. Specific Gravity: The exact weight of an object.
What does the specific gravity (SG) of urine measure?
The density of urine
Why do scientists use specific gravity?
I believe the reason behind using specific gravity is that it is easier to measure (especially when you're measuring it for a solid).
What unit is used with specific gravity?
The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of te density of the substance to the density of water. It is, therefore, a unitless measure.
What is the amount of mass packed into a certain volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
What is one unit of measure for mass?
Specific gravity I think. Start there.
What specific gravity of a product will sink?
An object will sink if its density - or its specific gravity - is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in.
What does a uninometer do?
Type of hydrometer used to measure the specific gravity of a urine sample
