Specific Gravity Calculator Instructions
This tool is designed to calculate the specific gravity of skincare products, ensuring accurate filling and packaging. It supports grams (g), milliliters (ml), or ounces (oz), maintaining consistent units throughout the process.
Gather Your Materials
- An empty container
- water
- your skincare product
- A scale for measurements in your preferred unit (g, oz)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Measure the Weight of the Empty Container: Place the empty container on the scale and record its weight in your chosen unit.
- Measure the Weight of the Container with Water: Fill the container to the brim, weigh it, and note the weight in the same unit.
- Measure the Weight of the Container with Skincare Product: Similarly, fill it with the skincare product to the same level, weigh, and record this weight using the same unit.
- Calculate Specific Gravity: Input the recorded weights and your product packaging capacity into the calculator, then click “Calculate” to obtain the specific gravity and the required product amount.
Note on Using Ounces: If using ounces, ensure all measurements (empty container, container with water, container with skincare, container capacity) are in ounces to maintain consistency. if needing to convert a measurement to another then do this with the final figure using a relevant calculator.
Understanding Your Results
Specific Gravity: Indicates the product’s density compared to water. A value of 1 means the product has the same density as water.
Amount of Skincare Product Needed: This is the weight of the product required to fill the container, based on its specific gravity.
