SG, GU and ˚P Conversions

Enter your SG, GU or ˚P value into the appropriate yellow box below and then hit 'Calculate'. (Note: SG and GU vales are calibrated to 20˚C where SG of pure water = 1.000 at 20˚C).

Explanation of the Calculator.
The following equations have been used in the above calculator:

SG to GU

GU = (SG - 1) x 1000

SG to ˚P

˚P = 135.997 x SG³ - 630.272 x SG² + 1111.14 x SG - 616.868

Note: there are simpler equations out there that estimate this conversion but they are not as accurate.
eg. ˚P = 260 - (260/SG)
If you are doing the calculations by hand you may want to use this formula.

GU to SG

SG = 1000 x GU + 1

GU to ˚P

Convert GU to SG and then convert SG to ˚P using the equations above.

˚P to SG

SG = (˚P / 258.6 - ((˚P / 258.2) x 227.1))) + 1

˚P to GU

Convert ˚P to SG and then convert SG to GU using the equations above.
