Density & volume

Bulk density is a logistics measure

Bulk density relates loose material mass to the volume it occupies, including spaces between pellets. It is different from the density of an individual pellet.

Procurement guide · Revised 7 October 2026

Why buyers ask

Bulk density informs storage volume and handling estimates. Pellet dimensions and fines can influence packing, so a density result should be tied to the sampled material and method.

Container loading

Actual shipment weight also depends on bags, pallets, available space, permissible payload and route restrictions. Do not turn bulk density into a promised tonnes-per-container figure without a loading plan.

Request comparable data

Ask for the unit, sampling method and batch. Separate measured net product mass from gross weight including packaging.

These are purchasing considerations, not a WoodPelletCN batch specification or equipment approval. Discuss final requirements with your laboratory and equipment provider.
