In order to know the weight of your granite its exact density and volume must be determined.
Average density of granite kg m3.
Density of different construction materials density of construction materials are its mass per unit volume of materials.
Slugs are the correct measure of mass.
In crystalline rocks like granite which have tight interlocking mineral grains porosity is normally quite low less than 1 percent.
Bulk density chart anval valves pvt ltd.
Rocks vary considerably in density so the density of a rock is often a good identification tool and useful for distinguishing terrestrial.
Density is also called as unit weight of substance.

Material description loose bulk density ft.
Density of granite solid is equal to 2 691 kg m.
Note kg cu m divided by 16 02 lbs cu ft.
Bulk material density table.
Note that even if pounds per cubic foot is often used as a measure of density in the u s pounds are really a measure of force not mass.
In imperial or us customary measurement system the density is equal to 168 pound per cubic foot lb ft or 1 555 ounce per cubic inch oz inch.
Granite solid weighs 2 691 gram per cubic centimeter or 2 691 kilogram per cubic meter i e.
Material lbs cu ft kgs cu m abrasive compound 148 2371 abrasive mix 153 2451 acetate 35 561 acetate flakes 21 336 acrylic fibres.
You can divide pounds per cubic foot by 32 2 for a rough value in slugs.
Weight is the force experienced by that mass in the presence of a gravitational field.
It is expressed in kg m3 or lb ft3 and shows compactness of building material.
Porosity and density.
Granite crushed 97 1554 graphite 48 769 graphite flakes 42 673 graphite granules 68 1089 graphite powder 35 561.
Density is the physical property it is mass kilograms per unit volume.
Density is the term for how heavy an object is for its size density is usually expressed in units like grams per cubic centimeter g cc or g cm 3 kilograms per cubic meter pounds per cubic inch cubic foot or cubic yard or pounds per gallon.
This range of densities can also be attributed to a rock s porosity the amount of open space between mineral grains.
As specific gravity is just a comparison it can be applied across any units.
The density of pure water is also 62 4 lbs cu ft pounds per cubic foot and if we know that ammonium nitrate has a sg of 0 73 then we can calculate that its density is 0 73 x 62 4 45 552 lbs cu ft.
