Presumably the new weight will be 20-30% higher than with the sand result you reported. I think that your method has not accounted for the volume of air in either the sand or pellet case (no air volume of course with water alone). Knowing this added sand/water and sand/acetone weight results will, I think, decrease your reported void volume. Tightly packed spheres get above 70% volume (air void space less than 30%).

Terrible – terrible. The wax leaks and add volume. The sand is better. The sand changes in bulk density when shaken (a problem) but the item being tested (wood chips, pellets, soil clod) do not change in particle size. So my thinking is to decrease the sand / sample ratio as much as you can. That is add the most pellets to the liter bottle as possible and get them to be embedded into the sand. <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="apple-tab-span"> </span><o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.75in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span>c.<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span>Same when you mix sand and pellets (my preference is to start with a liter of only pellets, then first see how much sand you can get in [by shaking], weigh and then see how much water (and or acetone) can be added).<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">[Frank >] I do this for wood chips and suggest for large particles like the cubes being talked about. Fill a container to the top to get bulk density then pour in the sand with lots of tapping. Take out the wood pieces and determine the reduction volume of the sand (= voids). But for smaller particles I suggest embedding the particles in the sand to make sure there are no big pockets of voids. If you keep tapping the sample will float to the top. So for wood chips and sticks I add sand and chips together and make sure there is plenty of sand on top. Then tap until I see the first sigh of sample pocking through the top.
