What fluid has the biggest specific gravity?

Oil has the highest specific gravity. Water has the second.


What is specific gravity of crude oil?

Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.

Does the gravity of crude oil affect the weight of the oil?

You probably mean the "specific gravity" of crude oil. The answer is yes. For example: crude oil with a specific gravity of less than 1.0 and is therefore lighter than water and will float on its surface. "Extra heavy crude oil" has a specific gravity greater than 1.0 and sinks to the bottom of water.


What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?

light crude oil has less specific gravity,less viscosity while heavy crude oil has more specific gravity & viscosity.


What is the weight specific gravity of oil?

The specific gravity depends on the particular oil, some are lighter, some heavier. Olive oil has an SG of about 0.7, crude oil (used for gasoline etc.) about 0.9.

Is oil heavier than water?

The short answer is, it depends on which oil you're talking about. There are many different things that are considered "oils". For the most part, an oil is: hydrophobic (is repelled by water / doesn't mix with water), a liquid at 25°C, and is soluble in (mixes with) organic solvents. How 'heavy' something is is determined by density. One way to describe the density of a liquid is by giving its 'specific gravity', which means how heavy is it compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1, so any oil with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water, while any oil with a specific gravity lower than 1 will float on water. Most things that people are likely to encounter that they call 'oil', such as motor or vegetable oil, are lighter than water, but there certainly are oils that are heavier than water.


Why is water lighter than oil?

Oil is lighter than water due to it's lower specific gravity, specific gravity being the "density" of a fluid relative to water.
