Construction sand
Construction sand is a loose material that is actively used in construction of any type. It can perform the functions of drainage, septic tank and be used in water treatment systems.
Density and humidity
The specific bulk density of sand determines the quantitative ratio of the clay contained in its composition. The density without impurities is 1300 kg / cubic meter. A value that is higher than this indicator indicates a high content of moisture, clay and other components.
Humidity also affects the density of sand, which increases its total volume.
Specific gravity
The specific gravity of sand for construction is a unit of volume in its most dense state. It is defined as the ratio of the mass of sand in the dry state and its occupied volume.
This variable can range from 2.55 to 2.65 units and differ in sand of different origin.
Volumetric weight
The volumetric weight of construction sand is a unit of volume in the natural state of sand (with impurities, humidity). The volume and specific gravity may differ, so it is necessary to take into account all errors during construction.
On average, the volume weight of sand in 1 cubic meter is 1500-1800 kg.
