How to Evaluate Bulk Specific Gravity?

Bulk Specific Gravity evaluator uses Bulk Specific Gravity = Bulk Unit Weight/Unit Weight of Water to evaluate the Bulk Specific Gravity, The Bulk Specific Gravity is defined as Ratio of the weight in air of a given volume of permeable material (including both permeable and impermeable voids normal to the material) at a stated temperature to the weight in air of an equal volume of distilled water at a stated temperature is called specific mass gravity. Bulk Specific Gravity is denoted by Gm symbol.
