1. Wood Sample
Wood density influences timber classification and scheduling for appropriate use. So the
density of wood taken of hard wood.

Density of object
We know tha specific gravity = ............................. (A)
Density of water

850
= 0.805
1000

2. Steel/Iron sample
The density of steel is in the range of 7.75 and 8.05 g/cm3 (7750 and 8050 kg/m3 or 0.280 and
0.291 lb/in3).

7850
= 7.850
1000

3. Plastic Sample
The density of plastic can range from 0.93 to 0.97 g/cm3 or 970 kg/m3.

970
=0.970
1000

4. First Class Brick

The unit weight of first class bricks shall not be less than 1100 kg/m3. I take it 1920 kg/m3

1920
=1.920
1000

Note: All the density units are taken in kg/m3
