Methodology

Sand (Wet) density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Wet sand bulk density depends on water content and packing.

moisture: Wet; water fraction not stated

packing: Loose

Source basis: Caterpillar, Earthwork volumes reference tables. Sand, wet: loose column. https://www.cat.com/en_US/articles/ci-articles/earthwork-volumes-reference-tables.html Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Specify moisture, packing and particle distribution.

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 0.499277 pt (US) per lb.

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