单词 relative density
释义
relative density

Physics
  • The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some reference substance. For liquids or solids it is the ratio of the density (usually at 20°C) to the density of water (at its maximum density). This quantity was formerly called specific gravity. Sometimes relative densities of gases are used; for example, relative to dry air, both gases being at s.t.p.


Chemistry
  • The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some reference substance. For liquids or solids it is the ratio of the density (usually at 20°C) to the density of water (at its maximum density). This quantity was formerly called specific gravity. Sometimes relative densities of gases are used; for example, relative to dry air, both gases being at s.t.p.


Chemical Engineering
  • The ratio of the density of a substance to a reference substance. A substance with a relative density less than one is less dense than the reference; if greater than one then it is denser than the reference. If the relative density of the substance and reference substance is exactly the same, then the densities are equal; i.e. equal volumes of the two substances have the same mass. The temperature and pressure must be specified for both the sample and the reference. Compare specific density.


Biology
  • The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some reference substance. For liquids or solids it is the ratio of the density (usually at 20°C) to the density of water (at its maximum density). This quantity was formerly called specific gravity.
