Bulk density is a useful property of fused cast AZS block, which reflects the function for structure of blocks. What is called bulk density? Simply put, bulk density is that the weight of fused cast AZS block divided by the total volume of fused cast AZS block. It is an indicator of weight for unit volume bricks. The weight can be weighed in the air directly, volume is a measure of the amount of space that an object takes up.

First of all, we need to know that bulk density is weight/volume, weight is relatively easy got as the brick can be weighed in air. However, volume is more difficult to measure as the fused cast AZS block is quite a complicated shape and formats, it is not very evenly shaped and it has quite a rough surface. Fortunately, there is a method to measure the volume of fused cast AZS block which is called water displacement method- a method be used to measure the volume of a solid object.

Water displacement method

1. Load a certain amount of liquid into the appropriate vessel and record the volume(V1).

2. Put a fused cast AZS block into the liquid and submerge it totally, accordingly the volume will increased, and record this volume (V2).

3. The volume of the submerged fused cast AZS block is the same as the increased volume of liquid displaced which equals to V2 minus V1

After get the volume of fused cast AZS block，the density can now be calculated

Bulk density of a fused cast AZS block can directly reflects the micro structure and influences the physical and chemical features such the resistance to slag, thermal shock resistance, cold crushing strength and corrosion resistance to glass liquid. The higher the bulk density is, the denser the structure is, accordingly the more excellent performance a fused cast AZS block has.
