apparent specific gravity/bulk specific gravity Explanation: Bulk specific gravity or apparent specific gravity is the ratio of the bulk density of a soil or other material to the mass of a unit volume of water. It is called apparent specific gravity. The French know it as "poids specifique apparent", while at USA is prefered the term "gravity" instead of "weight".
