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, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00002839 t per tbsp (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
