1. What is Basalt Fiber Density?

Definition: This calculator determines the density of basalt fiber based on its mass and volume.

Purpose: It helps material scientists and engineers calculate the density of basalt fiber, which typically ranges between 2600-2800 kg/m³.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the density formula:

\[ \rho = \frac{m}{V} \]

Where:

\( \rho \) — Density (kg/m³)
\( m \) — Mass (kg)
\( V \) — Volume (m³)

Explanation: The mass of basalt fiber is divided by its volume to calculate density.

3. Importance of Density Calculation

Details: Knowing the density of basalt fiber is crucial for material selection, structural calculations, and composite material design.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mass in kilograms and volume in cubic meters. All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the typical density range for basalt fiber?
A: Basalt fiber typically has a density between 2600-2800 kg/m³, similar to basalt rock.

Q2: How does basalt fiber density compare to other materials?
A: It's denser than E-glass (2500 kg/m³) but similar to carbon fiber (1750-2000 kg/m³).

Q3: Why is density important for basalt fiber applications?
A: Density affects strength-to-weight ratio, which is critical in construction and composite applications.

Q4: How do I measure the volume of basalt fiber?
A: For fibers, volume can be calculated by measuring dimensions or using water displacement methods.

Q5: Does density vary with fiber diameter?
A: The density of the material remains constant, though packing density in composites may vary.
