Aggregate (Coarse, Fine, Coarse/Fine Mixture)

Compact Condition
(Dry Rodded) Loose Condition

Mass of Aggregate Plus Measure, G (g):

Unit Weight of Aggregate, M (lb/ft3):

Bulk Specific Gravity (Dry Basis), S:

(per ASTM C127 or C128)
% Voids:

Calculations (unit weight to nearest 1 pcf, voids to nearest 1%):

Mw=Tw - T - Pg
V=(Mw x 2.2046)/(g w x 1000)
M=(G - T) x 2.2046/(V x 1000)
% Voids=100[(S x 62.3) - M]/(S x 62.3) (Not Applicable for Coarse/Fine Mixtures)
