Definition
The density of wood is the weight of the wood 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 wood density in kg/m³ (SI unit), g/cm³, g/ml, kg/l, lb/ft³.
Density of Wood
Pine
𝛒 = 600 kg/m³
Tropical tree species
𝛒 = 750 kg/m³ (Minimum)
