Specific Volume Formula
The following equation can be used to calculate a specific volume.
V = v/m
- Where V is the specific volume m^3/kg
- v is the volume (m^3)
- m is the mass (kg)
Other units for volume and mass can be substituted for the ones above. The resulting specific volume will correspond with the units used.
Specific Volume Definition
A specific volume is a measure of the total volume per unit mass. In other words is the inverse of density.
