Density (disambiguation)

Density and dense usually refer to a measure of how much of some entity is within a fixed amount of space. Types of density include:

Physics

Density of mass

  • Density, mass per unit volume
    • Bulk density, mass of a particulate solid or powder divided by the volume it occupies
    • Particle density (packed density) or true density, density of the particles that make up a particulate solid or a powder
    • Neutral density, mass density of seawater
    • The Planck density, the derived unit of density in the Planck unit system (1 Planck mass divided by 1 Planck volume)
  • Area density or surface density, mass over a (two-dimensional) area
  • Linear density, mass over a (one-dimensional) line
  • Relative density or specific gravity, a measure of density in comparison to the density of something else
