In materials science, bulk density, also called apparent density, is a material property defined as the mass of the many particles of the material divided by the bulk volume. Bulk volume is defined as the total volume the particles occupy, including particle's own volume, inter-particle void volume, and the particles' internal pore volume.
Learn how to measure the bulk density and tapped density of powders using different methods and apparatus. The bulk density is the ratio of the mass and volume of an untapped powder sample, while the tapped density is the ratio of the mass and volume of a tapped powder sample.

- Bulk density formula is given as: {eq}\gamma =\frac{m_d}{v_t} {/eq} where m_d is the mass of the dry soil and v_t is the total volume of the sampl...
- Bulk density is inversely proportional to the soil's volume. Both agriculture and construction use bulk density calculations for different purposes...
- The ratio of dry soil's mass to its volume is called bulk density. In calculating bulk density, the volume of the soil sample accounts for the voi...
- To find bulk density: Obtain a sample of soil from the ground by using a cylindrical ring Bring the soil sample to the laboratory and put it in a...
Bulk density is the mass or weight per unit volume of a loose accumulation of particulate materials. Learn how to measure bulk density for different purposes, such as composting, pharmaceuticals, and soilless culture, and how it relates to other properties.
Learn how bulk density and density differ in terms of mass, volume, void spaces, and applications. Bulk density includes the void spaces, while density excludes them, and both have distinct formulas and units.
Learn how to measure bulk density, the weight of soil in a given volume, and how it affects root growth, soil permeability and nutrient calculation. Find out the methods, factors and references for bulk density measurement in different soil types and conditions.
