relative density

It has a high relative density of 8 - 8.2.

Most mafic minerals are dark in color and the relative density is greater than 3.

For a general use of specific gravity, see relative density.

Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water.

For example, an ice cube, with a relative density of about 0.91, will float.

A substance with a relative density greater than 1 will sink.

The relative density of a liquid can be measured using a hydrometer.

RD is the relative density of the new liquid with respect to the reference.

I'd like to get something positive on the relative densities.

The terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density.
