40%
That's 1.14× as open as loose sand, while soft clay is 1.25× higher. A cubic meter of it could hold about 400 liters of water.
Convert the other way: % to g/cm³
What it means
How much space is in it?
Densities assume a grain density of 2.65 g/cm³, which suits quartz sands and most soils but not iron ores or organic soils.
The math
How to convert g/cm³ to %
Porosity and void ratio measure the same voids against different denominators: e = n ÷ (1 − n) and n = e ÷ (1 + e), with n as a fraction.
Example: 1.59 g/cm³ = 40 %.
