Density of Construction Materials:

 

 

Density of Construction Materials:

Density is a mass per unit volume of materials, it’s also called the Unit weight of substance or materials & measured by Kg/Cum, or lb/ft3, 1Kg/Cum = 0.624 Lb/Ft3. And the density of materials presented by the P symbol.
Mathematically Formula of Density is: P=m/v
