Understanding Specific Gravity & Float Switch Selection

January 28, 2019

Specific Gravity in liquid level measurement refers to the ratio of the density of a substance within a tank. For fluid monitoring levels, this factor is an important one to consider as it ensures selection the of an appropriate float …

Oil & Water Might Not Mix but Here’s How to Measure Their Liquid Levels Anyway

August 10, 2018

Oil and water don’t mix. It’s not only a common analogy used to describe two things that are very different from one another, but it’s also something that’s visually obvious if you’ve ever poured the two liquids into the same …

Specific Gravity & Float Switches: Here’s What You Need to Know

February 16, 2018

If you’re in the process of selecting a float switch for your application, you’ve likely come across the question of what the specific gravity (SG) of the liquid being measured is. The SG is a characteristic that relates to the …

FAQ: What is Specific Gravity? Information for General Use and Level Sensing Applications

May 12, 2015

What is specific gravity? Broadly speaking, it is the ratio of an object’s density relative to the density of another substance, usually water. Is specific gravity the same as density? No. Density is the ratio between a substance’s mass and volume; …
