The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of the density of the liquid to the thickness of pure water (1.0 grams/ml). The closer the specific gravity is to 1, the closer it is to pure water. When solutes are added to a liquid, the specific gravity increases. Therefore, the specific gravity of a urine sample indicates the amount of solute present in the urine. The higher the value, the more solutes are dissolved in the urine. The use of Long's coefficient is a relative mathematical means of comparing the specific gravity of a urine sample to the actual amount of solute present in the sample
