In materials science, bulk density, also called apparent density, is a material property defined as the mass of the many particles of the material divided by the bulk volume. Bulk volume is defined as the total volume the particles occupy, including particle's own volume, inter-particle void volume, and the particles' internal pore volume.

The Carr index (Carr's index [1] or Carr's Compressibility Index [2]) is an indicator of the compressibility of a powder.It is named after the scientist Ralph J. Carr, Jr. The Carr index is calculated by the formula =, where is the freely settled bulk density of the powder, and is the tapped bulk density of the powder after "tapping down".
A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in geology, civil engineering, [1] and chemical engineering [2] to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction ...
This technique has been used for decades in the air pollution control industry (data used for design of control devices). This technique determines particle size as a function of settling velocity in an air stream (as opposed to water, or some other liquid). Disadvantages: a bulk sample (about ten grams) must be obtained. It is a fairly time ...
Aggregation involves particulate adhesion and higher resistance to compaction. Typical bulk density of sandy soil is between 1.5 and 1.7 g/cm 3. This calculates to a porosity between 0.43 and 0.36. Typical bulk density of clay soil is between 1.1 and 1.3 g/cm 3. This calculates to a porosity between 0.58 and 0.51.
where is the freely settled bulk density of the powder, and is the tapped bulk density of the powder. [3] The Hausner ratio is not an absolute property of a material; its value can vary depending on the methodology used to determine it.
The particle mass density or particle density of a material (such as particulate solid or powder) is the mass density of the particles that make up the powder. Particle density is in contrast to the bulk density, which measures the average density of a large volume of the powder in a specific medium (usually air).
