DENSUS, A LABORATORY APPARATUS (DESIGNATED SVE 277) FOR DETERMINING THE BULK DENSITY OF LIGHTWEIGHT CLINKER (EXPANDED CLAY GRAINS), SOILS AND OTHER ROAD CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

The National Swedish Road and Traffic Research Institute has developed a device called densus for measuring the bulk density of lightweight clinker at delivery, after filling and after packing. The purpose of the apparatus is to provide both the supplier and the purchaser with a method which is acceptable in both procedure and reproducibility for determining the bulk density of lightweight clinker material at delivery and the highest probable density to which the material can be packed without significant crushing. This report is a description of the laboratory apparatus. (TRRL)
