Formula
Specific Volume :
V = 1/ρ
Density :
ρ =1/V
Where,
v = Specific Volume,
ρ = Density.
In short, specific is termed as volume per unit mass of a substance. This online Specific Volume Calculator is useful in calculating the specific volume of a mass unit of substance.
Example:
Calculate the specific volume for the given details.
Density (ρ) = 25 kg/m3
Solution:
Apply formula:
V = 1/ ρ
V = 1/25 kg/m3
Specific Volume (v) = 0.04 m3/kg
