Is Bulk Specific Gravity?

Bulk Specific Gravity (also known as Bulk Dry Specific Gravity): The ratio of the weight in air of a unit volume of aggregate at a stated temperature to the weight in air of an equal volume of gas-free distilled water at the stated temperature.

Is specific gravity the same as bulk density?

“Specific gravity” is the density of a material relative to water. ... Instead, a rock's “bulk density” arises as a result of the percentage of all minerals in a sample multiplied by the specific gravity of each.

Is specific gravity equal to mass?

The Formula for Specific Gravity

The density is directly related to the mass of the object (unit: usually in grams but can be measured in kilograms or pounds), so the specific gravity can also be determined by dividing the mass of the object by the mass of the water.
