What this tool does
Density is mass divided by volume, and rearranging it answers three different practical questions: what is this material, how heavy will this piece be, and how much space will this weight take. Water is 1000 kg/m³, which makes it an easy reference point.
Formula
ρ = m ÷ V
Variables
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
m | Mass | kg |
v | Volume | L |
d | Density | kg/m³ |
D | Density | kg/m³ |
M | Mass | kg |
V | Volume | L |
Worked example
- Mass2.7 kg
- Volume1 L
- Density2700.000 kg/m³
Limitations
- Density changes with temperature, moisture and composition. Use a value from the supplier's data sheet whenever precision matters.
- Mixing units is the most common source of error. Convert every input to the units shown next to each field before calculating.
