1. What is Density of Crushed Stone?

Definition: Density is the mass per unit volume of crushed stone, typically ranging between 1400-1600 kg/m³ for bulk material.

Purpose: Understanding density helps in material estimation, transportation planning, and structural calculations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

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

Where:

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

Explanation: The mass is divided by volume to determine the material's density.

3. Importance of Density Calculation

Details: Density affects load-bearing capacity, compaction requirements, and material quantity estimates for construction projects.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the mass of crushed stone in kilograms and its volume in cubic meters. Both values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the typical density range for crushed stone?
A: Bulk density typically ranges between 1400-1600 kg/m³ depending on stone type and compaction.

Q2: How does moisture affect density?
A: Moisture increases mass (and apparent density) as water fills voids between particles.

Q3: What's the difference between bulk and particle density?
A: Bulk density includes voids between particles, while particle density measures the solid material only.

Q4: How do I measure volume accurately?
A: Use water displacement method for irregular samples or calculate from container dimensions.

Q5: Why does density vary by stone type?
A: Different minerals have different specific gravities and particle shapes affect packing density.
