Density of Aggregate 2022

Definition

The density of aggregate is the weight of aggregate per its volume.

Formula

ρ = m / V

• ρ:  Density
• m: mass
• V: Volume

Density vs Specific Weight vs Specific Gravity

I would like to point out that there are conceptual differences between density, specific weight and specific gravity. Follow the link if you want to learn more about these differences.

With that said, this page will provide you the aggregate density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.

Density of Aggregate

Normal Weight

Gravels, Sands, Normal Crushed Stone, Bulk Specific Gravity - 2.4 to 2.9, Bulk Density (of Bulk Unit Weight) - 1520 to 1680 kg/m³.

Light Weight

Manufactured or Natural, Bulk Density Less than 1120 kg/m³. Conversion:

𝛒 = 1.12 g/cm³

𝛒 = 1.12 g/ml
𝛒 = 1120 g/L

𝛒 = 69.92 lb/ft³
