Apparent Specific Gravity Formula Elements

Variables
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.
Symbol: Gapp
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 2 to 3.25.
Dry Mass
The Dry Mass is the total mass of a pavement material sample after drying to a constant weight, excluding any moisture content.
Symbol: MD
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Net Volume
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.
Symbol: VN
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density
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.
Symbol: W
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
