Explain Specific Gravity Why are Process Operators required

Explain Specific Gravity. Why are Process Operators required to have an understanding of this concept?

Solution

Specific gravity is the ratio of density of desired fluid to the density of standard fluid

Process operators should require prerequisite knowledge about specific gravity for following reasons:

To control the Quality

To estimate the size of packaging and storage space required for a material

To refine a material in a distillation process
