Specific Surface Area Formula Elements

Variables
Specific Surface Area
Specific Surface Area is determined as the ratio of the area divided by the mass of an array of particles.
Symbol: Asp
Measurement: Specific AreaUnit: m^2/kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density
The Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
