Bulk Density Index
Estimated bulk densities for 600+ common bulk solids: grouped by material with variants nested, searchable (lb/ft³ and kg/m³).
Estimated bulk densities for 600+ common bulk solids: grouped by material with variants nested, searchable (lb/ft³ and kg/m³).
How to read this: materials are grouped by base type: the native material sits on the heading line, with its variants indented below. Values are lb/ft³ / kg/m³. Estimated Bulk Density is a general representative value; Loose (poured / aerated) and Packed (tapped / settled) show only where we have that breakdown.
| Material | Estimated Bulk Density lb/ft³ / kg/m³ | Loose | Packed |

Estimated loose bulk densities for more than 600 common bulk solids, searchable, in lb/ft³ and kg/m³. Bulk density varies with moisture, particle size and compaction, and published figures for the same material differ between sources. Use these values for early sizing and comparison; size equipment against your material's measured density.
