Grain breadth and thickness were mutually correlated; all dimensions of milled rice were closely related to those

of the corresponding paddy. Density was nearly constant at 1.452 g/ml in all rice varieties; in paddy, the value was around 1.182 g/ml for round varieties and around 1.224 g/ml for others. Bulk density varied appreciably in both rice (0.777 0.847) and paddy (0.563 0.642 g/ ml), and so did porosity (41 46% in rice, 46 54% in paddy). These were related to the grain shape (l/b ratio); the more round the grain, the greater was the bulk density and the lower the porosity and vice versa. Angle of repose was relatively constant in different varieties of rice (average 37.5) and paddy (average 36.5).
