Calculate specific gravity from density measurements. Specific gravity, also called relative density, is a measure of a product’s density relative to water. Unlike density, specific gravity does not depend on the size of the container used to take the measurements. To calculate specific gravity, divide the density (weight per volume) of each icing by the weight of the same volume of water. Specific gravity is a unitless value.
