This would be true of a perfectly uniform, homgenous material. Should be determined by professioanl analyzer (such as G-DenPyc 2900) cause different materials got different characteristics.
A value for porosity can alternatively be calculated from the bulk density ρbulk and particle density ρparticle: Normal particle density is assumed to be approximately 2.65 g/cm3, although a better estimation can be obtained by examining the lithology of the particles.
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.
Particle Density is how deep in volume something is for example: the density of water and sand.
Bulk density is defined as the weight per unit volume of material. Bulk density is primarily used for powders or pellets. The test can provide a gross measure of particle size and dispersion which can affect material flow consistency and reflect packaging quantity. Bulk Density ASTM D 1895 B
400 Kg/m3
bulk density depend on that material from which soil formed. so maximum bulk density depend on particle density of that mineral. Therefore,we can only tapped the soil upto perticle density. so maximum bulk density may be occur at equal to paricle density.
Bulk density is the dry mass of the solids (M sub t) / total volume (V sub t) Particle density is bulk density (P sub b) / 1 minus total porosity (1-theta).

Bulk density is a major physical property in designing the logistic system for biomass handling. The size, shape, moisture content, individual particle density, and surface characteristics are few factors affecting the bulk density. This research investigates the effects of true particle lengths ranging from 6 to 50 mm and moisture contents ranging from 8% to 60% wet basis (wb) on the bulk density of wheat straw and switchgrass. Three types of particle densities of straw and switchgrass measured were: a hollow particle density assuming a hollow cylindrical geometry, a solid particle density assuming a solid cylindrical geometry, and a particle density measured using a gas pycnometer at a gas pressure of 40 kPa. The bulk density of both loose-fill and packed-fill biomass samples was examined. The calculated wet and dry bulk density ranged from 24 to 111 kg m-3 for straw and from 49 to 266 kg m-3 for switchgrass. The corresponding tapped bulk density ranged from 34 to 130 kg m-3 for straw and 68 to 323 kg m-3 for switchgrass. The increase in bulk density due to tapping the container was from 10% for short 6-mm particles to more than 50% for long 50-mm particles. An equation relating the bulk density of stems as a function of moisture content, dry bulk density, and particle size was developed. After the validation of this bulk density equation, the relationship would be highly useful in designing the logistics system for large-scale transport of biomass to a biorefinery. The bulk density and particle density data of uniform particles would be important, if straw and switchgrass is used for pulping and paper making.
Concerning the second Question: "Can you find bulk density with just this info?"Purely on mathematical insight and analysis:Yes, you should be able to find the bulk density of dry soil, given the 'dry overall' and the 'particle' densities.When wet, there is not enough 'given'Also some should be known about the (or your) definition of porosity
You're almost certainly asking about bulk density. I hear it mispronounced as "bunk" density daily. Bulk density is how much mass of a substance will fit into a given volume without any packing. It tells you about the particle density and also the packing order.
Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.
Taken from an extract from a scientific report concerning the thermal properties of Palm Kernels. "The bulk density and particle size analysis were conducted at varying levels of moisture contents. The results showed that the bulk density of palm kernel particles decreased from 420.04 to 330.69 kgm-3, as the moisture content increased from 5.20 to 25.40% (db)."
Definitely, soil texture influences soil bulk density
