Definition
The density of basalt is the weight of the basalt 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 basalt density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.
Density of Basalt
𝛒 = 2.99 g/cm³
𝛒 = 2990 kg/m³
𝛒 = 2.99 g/ml
𝛒 = 2990 g/L
𝛒 = 2990 g/L
𝛒 = 186.66 lb/ft³
