400L/m³

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.

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 % to L/m³

To convert percent to liters per cubic meter, multiply by 10.

Example: 40 % × 10 = 400 L/m³.

In the other direction, 1 L/m³ = 0.1 %.
