The density of sandstone is very variable as it is a natural earth material. As such, a range of densities are quoted in the literature and testing should be done on a specific sample to get an exact result.
Range of intact densities for sandstone:A
1770 - 2580 kg/m3
In imperial units:
110.5 lbs/ft3 to 161.1 lbs/ft3

What else can I help you with?
Is an oil with the density 0.9 denser than water?
No, relative density is relative to water. Therefore, oil with a relative density of 0.9 is 90% the density of water. Which is why oil floats on top of water. Put both in a glass to see.
What is the density of sand saturated surface dry?
That depends on the type and grade of the sand
How much does a jar full of sand weights?
The weight of a jar full of sand will depend on the size of the jar and the density of the sand. On average, sand has a density of about 1.5 grams per cubic centimeter, so you can estimate the weight by calculating the volume of the jar and multiplying it by the density of the sand.
What is relative densities?
Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a given reference material.If a substance's relative density is less than one then it is less dense than the reference; if greater than 1 then it is denser than the reference. If the relative density is exactly 1 then the densities are equal
If you add water to sand does the volume density and mass change?
Well, honey, when you add water to sand, the volume will likely increase, but the density and mass will depend on the proportions of water and sand you mix. If you add just a little water, the density may increase slightly due to the added mass, but if you add a lot of water, the density will decrease because water is less dense than sand. So, the volume changes, but the density and mass can go either way depending on how much water you throw into the mix.
How do you calculate the relative density of a substance?
To calculate the relative density of a substance, you divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The formula is: Relative Density Density of Substance / Density of Water. The relative density is a measure of how dense a substance is compared to water.
What is the Relationship between relative density and density?
the relation between relative density and density is that relative density of a substance is its density itself without its unit.
What is the difference density and relative density?
DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water
How is the relative density of an object determined?
The relative density of an object is determined by comparing its density to the density of water. It is calculated by dividing the density of the object by the density of water. If the relative density is less than 1, the object will float in water; if it is greater than 1, it will sink.
How can one determine the relative density of a substance?
To determine the relative density of a substance, you can divide the density of the substance by the density of water. The relative density is also known as specific gravity and helps compare the density of a substance to that of water.
How do you find relative density of liquid?
To find the relative density of a liquid, you need to compare its density to the density of water. The formula for relative density is the density of the liquid divided by the density of water at a specific temperature. By measuring the mass of a given volume of the liquid and comparing it to the mass of an equal volume of water, you can calculate the relative density.
What is the difference between relative density and density, and how do they relate to each other?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of another substance, usually water. Relative density is also known as specific gravity. The relationship between relative density and density is that relative density is a comparison of densities, while density is an absolute measure of mass per unit volume.
How is density different from relative density?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard substance (usually water). Relative density is a dimensionless quantity used for comparison purposes.
Which density is dependent on temperature?
Relative density
What is the relative density in water?
The relative density in water refers to how dense a substance is compared to water. If the relative density is greater than 1, the substance will sink in water. If the relative density is less than 1, the substance will float in water.
What is relative density. What is the SI unit of relative density?
The ratio of thee density of a substance of the density of a standard , usually water for a liquid or solid and aur for a gas. The SI unit of relative density is g/ m3
What is the difference of relative density and density?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance, while relative density compares the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance (usually water). Relative density is dimensionless and is often used to identify substances or determine their purity based on their comparison to a standard substance.
