relative density

(Mathematics & Measurements / Units) the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard substance under specified conditions. For liquids and solids the standard is usually water at 4°C or some other specified temperature. For gases the standard is often air or hydrogen at the same temperature and pressure as the substance. Symbol d See also specific gravity, vapour density

relative density

The ratio of the density of one substance to that of a reference substance, typically water. See more at specific gravity.
