disagree  Anthony Indra: mass is "berat" in Indonesian, with "grams" as the standard unit. "Massa Jenis" or Specific Gravity is a unitless measure (gram per cubic centimeter divided by gram per cubic centimeter)

agree  Louis SOETEDJA: maybe 'specific mass of liquid' would be more appropriate

neutral  R.J.Chadwick (X): "specific gravity" is a scientific term I am familiar with, but "specific mass" is not, though I feel there is not enough context to give a definite answer

specific gravity of liquid materials


Explanation:
'Massa jenis' is 'specific gravity' in English, and described as the ratio of the weight or mass of a given volume of a substance to that of an equal volume of another substance used as a standard (in this case, water for liquid and solid materials, and air or hydrogen for gases).

Water, as the standard, has a specific gravity of 1.

Specific gravity is a unitless measure, because it is derived from the density of the mineral divided by the density of water and thus all units cancel.

Sorry, I was wrong. The correct one is \"Specific Mass of Liquid Materials\", i.e. mass per volume unit

  -> You are right, the correct one is specific mass (mass per unit volume), the symbol is rho -

agree  ErichEko ⟹⭐: agree w/ specific mass of liquid materials.....
