Water - Specific Volume vs. Temperature
Specific volume is the inverse of density, or the ratio of the volume to the mass of a substance:
v = V/m = 1/ρ [1]
where
v= specific volume, units typically [cm 3 /g] or [ft 3 /lb]
V = volume, units typically [cm 3 ] or [ft 3 ]
m= mass, units typically [g] or [lb]
ρ= density, units typically [g/cm 3 ] or [lb/ft 3 ]
