The bulk density often is the bulk density of the powder âas pouredâ or as passively filled into a measuring vessel. The tapped density is a limiting density attained after âtapping down,â usually in a device that lifts and drops a volumetric measuring cylinder containing the powder a fixed distance.
Using Density. One of the most common uses of density is in how different materials interact when mixed together. Wood floats in water because it has a lower density, while an anchor sinks because the metal has a higher density. Helium balloons float because the density of the helium is lower than the density of the air.
