Bulk density is defined as the weight per unit volume of material. Bulk density is primarily used for powders or pellets. The test can provide a gross measure of particle size and dispersion which can affect material flow consistency and reflect packaging quantity. Bulk Density ASTM D 1895 B
Bulk density a property of particulate materials. It is the mass of many particles of the material divided by the volume they occupy. The volume includes the space between particles as well as the space inside the pores of individual particles. Bulk density is not an intrinsic property of a material; it can change depending on how the material is handled. For example, grain poured in cylinder will have a particular bulk density; if the cylinder is disturbed, the grain particles will move and settle closer together, resulting in a higher bulk density. For this reason, the bulk density of powders is usually reported both as "freely settled" and "tapped" density (where the tapped density refers to the bulk density of the powder after a specified compaction process, usually involving vibration of the container.)

paint industry is the only industry where all the calculations while preparation are carried out in terms of mass units i.e. in Kgs but products are sold in volume units i.e. in liters.
Therefore materials for formulations of paint should be of low bulk density i.e.it should have more volume and less mass so that paint formulator will get profit by increasing volume and reducing weight.Thus from bulk density he can predict which material is profitable for paint formulation.Less is the bulk density more is the profit for formulator.
There are a number of definitions for the word/ term bulk:
When buying something, you would generally buy one or two. Bulk (buying) is when you buy in mass of the same item. Generally there is a "bulk discount" associated with this. E.g. A shop buys 10 crates of tango. This way, they get a reduced price, have enough to sell to their customers and are able to add a small markup in order to make some money.
Bulk can refer to mass. For example a bulky load.
Bulk can refer to proportion. For example: The bulk of the votes were cast for the for the Democratic candidate.
Soil bulk density indicate a soil's compaction characteristic. This is calculated by dividing the dry weight of the soil by its volume.
Bulk Density= mass/volume
400 Kg/m3
A value for porosity can alternatively be calculated from the bulk density ρbulk and particle density ρparticle: Normal particle density is assumed to be approximately 2.65 g/cm3, although a better estimation can be obtained by examining the lithology of the particles.
The speed of sound varies with various factors such as temperature,nature of the material,physical state of the substance,etc.
"Tapping" is a procedure in which a powder is placed into a graduated cylinder which is then tapped to compress the sample before its volume is measured. This reduces the amount of air trapped in the material. "Theoretical" is a method of determining the density of a mineral from the volume of a single cell.
Glacial ice has a density of about 850 kilograms per cubic meter. ref. http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/10ae.html
Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.
bulk density depend on that material from which soil formed. so maximum bulk density depend on particle density of that mineral. Therefore,we can only tapped the soil upto perticle density. so maximum bulk density may be occur at equal to paricle density.
Definitely, soil texture influences soil bulk density
Bulk density is the dry mass of the solids (M sub t) / total volume (V sub t) Particle density is bulk density (P sub b) / 1 minus total porosity (1-theta).
I believe that it may be the same (or similar) to bulk density
Bulk density of coking coal depends on many factors. But commonly it can be told as 0.8 T/Cu.M.

You're almost certainly asking about bulk density. I hear it mispronounced as "bunk" density daily. Bulk density is how much mass of a substance will fit into a given volume without any packing. It tells you about the particle density and also the packing order.
1.51 g/cc
This depends on the material and form.
