Density vs. Specific Gravity

Hi, Milkfans

Density is measured as mass per volume (g/ml) at a specific temperature.

Specific Gravity is the relationship of the mass of a volume of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water at the same temperature.

In dairy both the density and the specific gravity are influenced by the fat percentage and the SNF-percentage.

Top of the day to you,
