Specific Gravity for Gases
The Specific Gravity of a gas is normally calculated with reference to air - and defined as the ratio of the density of the gas
The Specific Gravity can be calculated as
SG = ρgas / ρair (3)
where
SG = specific gravity of gas
ρgas = density of gas (kg/m3)
ρair = density of air (normally at NTP - 1.205 kg/m3)
NTP - Normal Temperature and Pressure - defined as 20oC (293.15 K, 68oF) and 1 atm ( 101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kP
Molecular weights can be used to calculate Specific Gravity if the densities of the gas and the air are evaluated at the sam

Specific Gravity for Gases

The Specific Gravity can be calculated as

SG = ρgas / ρair (3)

SG = specific gravity of gas

ρgas = density of gas (kg/m3)

ρair = density of air (normally at NTP - 1.205 kg/m3)
