Bulk density weight

Soil bulk density (weight of dry soil per unit volume) usually decreases as a result of flooding. This is due to the high water-absorption capacity of organic matter and the destruction of soil aggregates. 

Bulk density, weight loss and crystalline phases of the sintered samples are reported in Table II. Residual porosity (<5%) was due to the weight loss associated to the formation of gaseous products of redox reactions between SiC and Si02, AI2O3 or Re203 ... 

The bulk density measured by the logging tool is the weighted average of the rock matrix and fluid densities, so that ... 

Solid Density. SoHds can be characterized by three densities bulk, skeletal, and particle. Bulk density is a measure of the weight of an assemblage of particles divided by the volume the particles occupy. This measurement includes the voids between the particles and the voids within porous particles. The skeletal, or tme soHd density, is the density of the soHd material if it had zero porosity. Fluid-bed calculations generally use the particle... 

The light weight of these products reduces user s shipping costs and conserves energy in transportation. These products are reusable, a key property from economic, ecological, and energy conservation standpoints. Most products are available in bulk densities of 4.0 to 4.8 kg/m (0.25 to 0.30 lb/fT). Average price is about 1.50 per pound from the manufacturer. 

Several densities and void fractions are commonly used. For adsorbents, usually the bulk density p, the weight of clean material per unit bulk volume as packed in a column, is reported. The dry particle density Pp is related to the (external) void fraction of packing by... 

All scales reqmre continuous monitoring to assure that the desired set weight is maintained and does not drift off because of changes in product bulk-density or flow characteristics. Microprocessors can perform this task automatically. 

The starting point in bag-size determination is the weight or volume of product to be packaged and its bulk density (aerated and settled). 

The commercial dry alum most often used in wastewater treatment is known as filter alum, and has the approximate chemical formula A 12(804)3 T4H2O and a molecular weight of about 600. Alum is white to cream in color and a 1 percent solution has a pH of about 3.5. The conunercially available grades of alum and their corresponding bulk densities and angles of repose are given in Table 1. 

Because of the relative cost, use Sorbeads as the desiccant and design on the basis of 6% loading. Sorbeads weigh approximately 49 Ib/ft (bulk density). The required weight and volume of desiccant per bed would be ... 

The success of any continuous extrusion process depends not only upon uniform quality and conditioning of the raw materials but also upon the speed and continuity of the feed of additives or regrind along with virgin plastic upstream of the extruders hopper. Variations in the bulk density of materials can exist in the hopper, requiring controllers such as weight feeders, etc. 

Density, apparent The weight in air of a unit volume of material including voids usually inherent in the material. Also used is the term bulk density that is commonly used for materials such as molding powders. 

Fig. 7. Root and shoot dry weight of wheat after 22 days of growth (5-leaf Stage) at various soil penetrometer resistances. Variations in penetrometer resistance were obtained by varying soil bulk density and water content. Symbols are as follows. Shape refers to bulk density (g cm ) 0,1.17 A, 1.29 , 1.37 <0, 1.41 V, 1.45. Shade refers to water content (g g dry soil) open symbols, 0.22 or 0.23 half-shaded, 0.25 closed, 0.27. Points are means s.E. (n = 6). Modified from Masle Passioura (1988).
