Methodology
Sand (Dry) density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
Dry sand bulk density depends on grading and packing.
moisture: Dry
packing: Bank (in situ)
Source basis: Caterpillar, Earthwork volumes reference tables. Sand, dry: bank column. https://www.cat.com/en_US/articles/ci-articles/earthwork-volumes-reference-tables.html Applicability: conditional-comparison.
Source basis: Caterpillar, Earthwork volumes reference tables. Sand, dry: loose column. https://www.cat.com/en_US/articles/ci-articles/earthwork-volumes-reference-tables.html Applicability: conditional-comparison.
Resolve bank versus loose/compacted state and particle distribution.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 3,527.396 lb per m^3.
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
