Good Afternoon all -
I am trying to run a calculation that will give me the total volume (OFC - overflow capacity) of a jar that will contain a powder with a specific gravity of .5
Is there a way that I can calculate the OFC Volume if I just have the Specific Gravity? I tried to configure a material in the materials editor and managed to create it ok - but the calculations don't seem to vary across that and water (my default) so I was wondering if anyone had any insight.

Hi Josh
I am not trying to find volume of the jar. I am trying to find how much material with a specific gravity of .5 I can fit into said jar.
The overflow capacity calculation is typically based off of water so trying to see if there is a way to find this calculation with the modified specific gravity.

I'm sorry. I'm unable to formulate a response.
Volume of jar doesn't change.
0.5 SG power means its half the mass of same volume of water.
So its half density of water: 997kg/m^3 * 0.5 = 498.5 kg/m^3.
Sorry, I may be a little dense (specific gravity >>1).
Are you asking how to find the volume of a jar?
I must be reading this wrong... It sounds like you're saying that you are confused because SW is telling the jar contains the same volume of stuff whether that stuff is water or 0.5 S.G. powder?
