Procedure for Compacted Bulk Density. Measure the volume of the cylindrical metal measure by pouring water into the metal measure and record the volume “V” in litre. Fill the cylindrical metal measure about one-third full with thoroughly mixed aggregate and tamp it 25 times using tamping bar.

20 mm aggregate density:- density of 20 mm aggregate is 1550 kg/m3, it means 1 cubic metre of 20 mm aggregate weight is 1550 kg.

Most of the aggregates possess a relative density within 2.4 – 2.9 with a similar particle density about 2400-2900 Kg/m3 (150-181 lb/ft3).

1442 kg/m3

Average density of sand is 1620 kg/m3, it means 1620 kg sand occupy 1 cubic metre of space or container, 1 cubic meter sand weight = 1620kg, so 1620kg is weight of 1 cubic meter sand.

Rcc Density = 2500 kg/m3.

The density of steel varies based on the alloying constituents but usually ranges between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m3 (484 and 503 lb/cu ft), or 7.75 and 8.05 g/cm3 (4.48 and 4.65 oz/cu in).

Unit weight or density of different construction materials are tabulated below.

Iron has the highest density as the particles are closely packed and volume occupied is less which makes the density very high.
