Specific gravity and density of loading. The specific gravity of solid a- trinitro toluene is 1.654-1.663 according to various authors, while that of the molten product is 1.467 at 82°C. The density of TNT, compressed under pressures vaiying from 1450 to 4350 kg/cm2, is 1.54-1.62 g/cm3 (Kast [57] 1907). 

In AOCS Official Method Cc 10b-25 (Firestone, 1998) for determining the specific gravity of solid fats at 25°C, the specific gravity of an ethanol-water mixture, in which a small solid sample of the fat neither sinks nor floats, is measured using a Westphal balance (which utilizes the Archimedes buoyancy principle). The specific gravity of the fat sample is equal to this measured value. 

Limestone (calcium carbonate) particles are stored in 50-L bags. The void fraction of the particulate matter is 0.30 (liter of void space per liter of total volume) and the specific gravity of solid calcium carbonate is 2.93. 

Specific gravities of solids and liquids were discussed in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. Values for several substances at a single temperature are listed in Table B.l in Appendix B, and more extensive tabulations can be found in Perry s Chemical Engineers Handbook on pp. 2-7 through 2-47 and 2-91 through 2-120.

Determination of the density of solids (grain density) is directly determined either by using a precision balance and a pycnometer or by calculation from bulk density and the water content. The procedure assumes that oven drying has driven all pore fluids from the sample, leaving the precipitated pore water salts with the solid matter. The specific gravity of solids can then be determined as follows ...
