Density of a Solid Material

Bulk density is a measure of weight of soil per unit volume (g / cc), usually given in a drying oven (110 ° C) base (Figure 1). The variation in bulk density due to the relative proportion and specific weight of organic and inorganic solids and soil porosity. Most mineral soils have densities between 1.0 and 2.0. Although the bulk densities are rarely measured, which are important in quantitative studies of soil, and measurement must be encouraged. These data are needed, for example, to calculate the movement of ...
