Apparent Specific Gravity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Apparent Specific Gravity = (Dry Mass/Net Volume)/Density
G_app = (M_D/V_N)/W
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Apparent Specific Gravity - The Apparent Specific Gravity is the ratio of the weight of a given volume of pavement material to the weight of an equal volume of water.
Dry Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - The Dry Mass is the total mass of a pavement material sample after drying to a constant weight, excluding any moisture content.
Net Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Net Volume is the total amount of space occupied by the pavement material, including air voids, within a given section of the pavement structure.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - The Density is the mass of the pavement material per unit volume, typically measured in units of mass per unit volume, such as grams per cubic centimeter.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dry Mass: 2 Kilogram --> 2 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Net Volume: 0.0008 Cubic Meter --> 0.0008 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
