Understanding Specific Volume
Specific volume (ν) is a property of materials, defined as the ratio of a substance's volume (V) to its mass (m). It is the reciprocal of density (ρ).
Formula: Specific Volume (ν) = Volume (V) / Mass (m) = 1 / Density (ρ)
The SI unit for specific volume is cubic meters per kilogram (m³/kg).
| Substance | Specific Volume (m³/kg) | Specific Volume (ft³/lb) |
|---|---|---|
| Air (at sea level, 20°C) | 0.833 (approx. 1/1.204) | 13.34 (approx. 1/0.0749) |
| Water (liquid, at 4°C) | 0.001 | 0.01602 |
| Steam (at 100°C, 1 atm) | 1.6729 | 26.80 |
| Aluminum | 0.000370 (approx. 1/2700) | 0.00593 (approx. 1/168.5) |
| Gold | 0.0000517 (approx. 1/19320) | 0.000829 (approx. 1/1206) |
