Percentage Refusal Density

Percentage Refusal Density
Applications
Percentage Refusal Density (PRD) is defined as the ratio of the initial dried bulk density of the sample to the final density (refusal density) expressed as a percentage.

The sample bulk density is determined by weighing in air and water. It is then heater in a split mould and compacted to refusal using a vibrating hammer. The final density is obtained by weighing in air and water.
