Sand (Dry) density and calculation basis
Sand (Dry) is represented in this table by a fixed reference density of 1600 kg/m^3, equivalent to 1.6 g/cm^3. Typical dry bulk density; grading affects value.
At this fixed reference, 1 liter of Sand (Dry) corresponds to 1.6 kg, while 1 kg corresponds to 0.625 liters. Its table density is 60.5% higher than the 997 kg/m^3 water reference used in this dataset.
Among the 11 fixed table records labeled Construction materials, the nearest density to Sand (Dry) is Gravel at 1700 kg/m^3: an absolute difference of 100 kg/m^3 (6.3% relative to Sand (Dry)). 2 records have a lower fixed density and 8 have a higher one. The observed range in this labeled group is Topsoil at 1200 kg/m^3 to Granite at 2750 kg/m^3. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the materials are interchangeable.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 3,527.396 lb per m^3.
The fixed value supports repeatable calculations but is not a batch, grade, supplier, or laboratory specification. Use a measured or certified density when those conditions control the result.
