Best Answer

Density of sand can vary depending on the grain size and moisture content and how tightly it is compacted

If you dont need very accurate densities the following should help

Sand, wet 1922 Sand, wet, packed 2082 Sand, dry 1602 Sand, loose 1442 Sand, rammed 1682 Sand, water filled 1922 Sand with Gravel, dry 1650 Sand with Gravel, wet 2020
density of sand will vary depending upon the condition.that is for wet,dry,gravel..

How do you measure specific gravity of sand?

Determine the density of the sand. Determine the mass of the sand, and it's volume. Divide the mass by the volume and that gives you density. Then divide the sand's density by the density of water. That will give you the specific gravity of the sand. Because you divide densities, the units cancel out, and specific gravity does not have any units. For example, you determine the density of the sand to be 10g/cm3, and the density of pure water is known to be 1g/cm3. Divide 10g/cm3 by 1g/cm3. The g/cm3 cancel, and you are left with just the number 10. So in this example the specific gravity of sand is 10.

Why does compacted sand have a greater density than loose sand poured into a container What does this mean?

In compacted sand the grains of sand are closer together, meaning there are more grains in a certain volume. This gives a higher value for density.

What is the density in siltstone?

Silt is a mixture, not a pure substance. The density would depend on the mixture of minerals that make up the silt. Sand (quartz) has a density of about 2.5 g/cm3. If the silt is mostly sand then that would be a good approximation of the density.
