Bulk Density vs. Specific Gravity
In mining, bulk density is crucial for estimating the tonnage of ore and designing efficient processing plants. On the other hand, specific gravity compares the density of a substance to the density of water, providing a relative measure of its density. It is widely used in industries where the identification, classification, and quality ...

Water is the most limiting resource for global crop production. The projected increase of dry spells due to climate change will further increase the problem of water limited crop yields.
Soil Bulk Density | Soil Lab Modules
Relative bulk density (RBD) is calculated by dividing the actual (or field) bulk density by MBD. Relative bulk density has been shown to be a useful index to assess soil compaction on agricultural and forest soils. For example, an RBD of 0.74-0.81 has been associated with optimal crop production regardless of soil texture and organic matter ...

Measurement of bulk density for resource estimation
The guiding premise should be that determination of the bulk density of the deposit is as important a part of the evaluation program as determination of the volume or the grade of mineralisation. Bulk density is often a highly variable parameter. Poor estimates of bulk density result in poor estimates of tonnage.

Tonnage and grade are the principal reported components of mineral resource estimates but tonnage is a derivative of two more fundamental estimates; volume and bulk density. Typically, most of the effort in a resource estimation study is directed towards grade and volume, yet poor application of bulk density data to resource models can result in significant biases. The …
