It means that the material has a low density. The practical implication is

that a lot of it doesn't weigh much.

Your specific gravity test was low what does it mean?

Before answering your question, do you produce large amount of urine (polyuria)? LOW Specific Gravity test (1.003-1.009 [I think]) means that you have low amount of particles inside your urine. It is clinical significance serious, it may indicate type I diabetes. (you also may have polyuria) If it is just normal, you just drinking a lot of water (you also may have polyuria)

Is urine specific gravity of 1.004 low?

Yes, it is very low. In some circumstances a very low urine specific gravity in combination with frequent urination and clear or nearly colorless urine can indicate that you might have diabetes insipidus. This is s serious medical condition that you should consult your doctor about.

What is low specific gravity?

The purest water, is given the value of one (1) or unity. Unity is just a term that unites the number one (1) to a specific item. So that in the future you can relate another substance, to the substance given the value of Unity. Any substance lighter then water, like oil has a lower specific gravity. Any substance heavier then water, has a higher specific gravity. Some oils have a specific gravity of around 0.85 Some heavy substances like strong nitric acid have a specific gravity of around 1.4 Substances do not have to be liquids. They can be solids.
