  2. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density is an intensive property in that increasing the amount of a substance does not increase its density; rather it increases its mass. Other conceptually comparable quantities or ratios include specific density, relative density (specific gravity), and specific weight.

  3. Population density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density

    Population density (in agriculture: standing stock or plant density) is a measurement of population per unit land area. It is mostly applied to humans , but sometimes to other living organisms too. It is a key geographical term.

  4. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

    Den is a direct measure of linear density. [5] dtex (deci-tex): Grams per 10,000 metres of yarn. Dtex is a direct measure of linear density. [5] gr/yard: Grains per yard of yarn. Gr/yard is a direct measure of linear density, but is rarely used in the modern textile industry. ECC or NeC or Ne (English Cotton Count): The number of 840 yd lengths ...

  5. Density (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(disambiguation)

    Probability density function, a function which maps probabilities across the real line and whose integral is 1 Density estimation is the construction of an estimate of a probability density function; Kernel density estimation, used in statistics to estimate a probability density function of a random variable; Lebesgue's density theorem

  6. Why BMI is not the obesity measurement we need - AOL

    www.aol.com/why-bmi-not-obesity-measurement...

    A big part of the problem is relying too much on body mass index (BMI), which is often used to define obesity as a BMI over 30 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) for people of European descent ...

  7. Steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel

    The density of steel varies based on the alloying constituents but usually ranges between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m 3 (484 and 503 lb/cu ft), or 7.75 and 8.05 g/cm 3 (4.48 and 4.65 oz/cu in). [ 8 ] Even in a narrow range of concentrations of mixtures of carbon and iron that make steel, several different metallurgical structures, with very different ...

  8. Water - Wikipedia

    Below that temperature, but above the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F), it expands becoming less dense until it reaches freezing point, reaching a density in its liquid phase of 999.8 kg/m 3 (62.4155 lb/cu ft). Once it freezes and becomes ice, it expands by about 9%, with a density of 917 kg/m 3 (57.25 lb/cu ft).

  9. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    A United States Navy Aviation boatswain's mate tests the specific gravity of JP-5 fuel. Relative density, also called specific gravity, [1] [2] is a dimensionless quantity defined as the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material.
