Definition
The density of dirt is the weight of dirt 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 dirt density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.
Density of Dirt (Average)
Dirt may be composed of many different stuff. On average it has the following density:
𝛒 = 0.231 g/cm³
𝛒 = 231 kg/m³
𝛒 = 0.231 g/ml
𝛒 = 231 g/L
𝛒 = 231 g/L
𝛒 = 14.421 lb/ft³
