Density Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: Density is the mass per unit volume of rubble stone, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
Purpose: Knowing the density helps in construction planning, material estimation, and structural calculations.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The mass of rubble stone is divided by its volume to determine its density.
Details: Density affects structural stability, load-bearing capacity, and material requirements in construction projects.
Tips: Enter the mass of rubble stone in kilograms and its volume in cubic meters. Both values must be > 0.
Q1: What's the typical density range for rubble stone?
A: Rubble stone typically has a density between 2000-2500 kg/m³, depending on the stone type and moisture content.
Q2: How do I measure the volume of rubble stone?
A: For irregular shapes, use water displacement method or calculate from dimensions for regular shapes.
Q3: Does density vary by stone type?
A: Yes, granite rubble is denser than limestone rubble, for example.
Q4: How does moisture affect density?
A: Wet stone will have higher density due to water filling pores and voids.
Q5: Why is density important in construction?
A: It helps calculate structural loads, material requirements, and transportation needs.
