Online geology calculator to calculate wet bulk density from the user inputs.
The dry bulk density of a soil is inversely related to the porosity of the same soil: the more pore space in a soil the lower the value for bulk density.
Bulk density of a region in the interior of the earth is also related to the seismic velocity of waves travelling through it: for P-waves, this has been quantified with Gardner's relation.
The higher the density, the faster the velocity.
Formula:
ฯt = Mt รท Vt
where,ฯt = Wet bulk density
Mt = mass of soil plus liquids
Vt = volume as a whole
