density or specific weight ( it is hard to explain but gravity/density of a given massA) Water is taken as standard with l.o in fresh water, and l.025 for Saline- as is marked on depth gauges on Submarines. adjust for density. Platinum and other rare earths have a very heavy specific gravity- as well suits there dense structure. on the other hand aluminum is very light.

Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water. It is a unitless ratio and is used to determine the relative density of liquids and solids. A specific gravity greater than 1 indicates that a substance is denser than water, while a specific gravity less than 1 indicates that a substance is less dense than water.
