What is the specific gravity of gold?

The specific gravity of gold is 19.32. Specific gravity is determined by dividing the weight of the material by the weight of an equal volume of water. Gold also has a melting point of 1950 degrees Fahrenheit and it weighs 10.18 troy ounces per cubic inch.

If the gold is not pure, then it will have a different specific gravity, melting point and weight. For example, 18-karat green gold has a specific gravity of 15.9, a melting point of 1810 F and a weight of 8.375 oz t. Another variation is 10-karat red gold, which has a specific gravity of 11.59, a melting point of 1760 F and a weight of 6.106 oz t.
