Definition
The density of granite is the weight of the granite 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 granite density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.
Density of Granite
𝛒 = 2.64 g/cm³
(but ranging from 2.50 to 2.81)
(but ranging from 2.50 to 2.81)
𝛒 = 2640 kg/m³
𝛒 = 2.64 g/ml
𝛒 = 2640 g/L
𝛒 = 2640 g/L
𝛒 = 164.81 lb/ft³
