Enter the mass of the substance (kg) and the specific gravity into the Volume from Specific Gravity Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Volume from Specific Gravity.

## Volume from Specific Gravity Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Volume from Specific Gravity.

Vsg = m / (SG * 998.2 )
• Where Vsg is the Volume from Specific Gravity (m^3)
• m is the mass of the substance (kg)
• SG is the specific gravity

To calculate volume from specific gravity, divide the mass of the substance by the result of the specific gravity times 998.2.

## How to Calculate Volume from Specific Gravity?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Volume from Specific Gravity.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the mass of the substance (kg).
1. The mass of the substance (kg) is given as: 100.
2. Next, determine the specific gravity.
1. The specific gravity is provided as: 20.
3. Finally, calculate the Volume from Specific Gravity using the equation above:

Vsg = m / (SG * 998.2 )

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

Vsg = 100 / (20 * 998.2 ) = .00509 (m^3)

Example Problem #2:

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

mass of the substance (kg) = 400

specific gravity = 40

Entering these values and solving gives:

Vsg =400 / (40 * 998.2 ) = .01 (m^3)
