Water is 1.00 so less than 1.00 will float on water and more than 1 will sink. We can also calculate how many grams 1 cc will weigh. ie. 1 cc of Lavender Oil weighs about 0.88 grams. In the perfumery business we buy by wieght so 1 gram of Lavender Oil will be 1/0.88 = 1.14 ccs. this means that for every 1 Kilogram (1,000 grams) we get 1,140 ccs. Important for checking how many bottles you can fill.
