The volume of a substance per unit mass; it is the reciprocal of the density. Abbreviated sp vol.

Specific Volume

The specific volume of a substance is a physical quantity determined by the ratio of the volume V to the mass m of a body. The specific volume v of a homogeneous substance is given by the formula v = V/m. Specific volume is the inverse of density. The units of specific volume are 1 m³/kg in the International System of Units and 1 cm³/g in the cgs system; 1 m³/kg = 103 cm³/g.
