Density of different grade of bitumen
It’s important to note that different grades of bitumen can have different densities. For example, the density of bitumen is in range of 1.01 g/cm3 to 1.06 g/cm3, while viscosity grade bitumen can range from 1.03 g/cm3 to 1.25 g/cm3.
In the oil and gas industry, It is an important parameter that is used to calculate the volume of bitumen required for a specific application. Also used to determine the weight of bitumen per unit volume, which is important in transportation and storage.
It’s always best to consult with a reliable supplier or reference material to get the latest and most accurate information on the density for your specific application.
What is density?
Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. It is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. For example, water is 1 gram per cubic centimetre, and Earth’s is 5.51 grams per cubic centimetre. It can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in metre-kilogram-second or SI units)
The bitumen density can vary depending on its grade and temperature. In general, the ranges from 0.98 g/cm3 to 1.25 g/cm3.At room temperature, typically ranges from 1.01 g/cm3 to 1.06 g/cm3. However, as the temperature of bitumen increases, its density decreases. For example, at 150°C, it can be as low as 0.98 g/cm3.
Density of road bitumen
Bitumen density is between 1.01 to 1.06 (Kg/dm3)
It means that 1.010kg to 1.060kg is one desi cubic meter.
Each tons of asphalt needed 70Kg Bitumen and the rest is aggregates.
