Methodology

Concrete density and calculation basis

Evidence status: publishable.

Representative bulk density for concrete; mix and void content affect actual density.

state: Concrete, bulk volume

method: Engineering bulk-density case in thermal-property table

Source basis: The Concrete Society, U-values: bulk density and thermal conductivity. Bulk density / thermal conductivity table, 2400 row. https://www.concrete.org.uk/fingertips/u-values/ Applicability: adopted-context.

Also lists 2000 and 2200 cases, not a certified continuous density interval; temperature is not stated for density.

For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 0.798843 cup (US) per lb.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
