Specific gravity Gsp is defined as the ratio of the weight of a given volume of soilsolids at a given temperature to the weight of an equal volume of distilled water at that temperature, both weights being taken in air. In other words it is the ratio of the unit weight of soil solids to that of water.

Bulk specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the substance to the density of the standard substance usually the standard substance is taken as water.
Gmb=
Gmb=Gsb/(1+e) , where e is void ratio
