Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of a material to the density of water. Materials with a specific gravity greater than 1.000 ( 1.035 in the ocean ) sink; materials with a specific gravity less than 1.000 ( 1.035 in the ocean ) float. Lead has the highest specific gravity - 11.35, except for gold. Gases like air also have weight, density, and specific gravity.

These figures are approximate and should be used only as general indicators.
