There are many tables giving the densities of minerals. For most current minerals, the density varies from 2,2 to 3,5 103 Kg/m3. Let us quote some of the most current minerals:

  • quartz : 2,648 103 kg/m3
  • limestone: 2,710 103 kg/m3
  • dolomite : 2,866 103 kg/m3
  • anydrite : 2,963 103 kg/m3
  • halite : 2,163 103 kg/ m3

The density of the liquids and gases is controlled by the chemical composition like by the temperature and the pressure. For the fluids, Schlumberger gives the following average values:

  • fresh water: 1,000 103 kg/m3
  • salt water (200,000ppm) 1,146 103 kg/m3
  • oil : 0,85 103 kg/m3
  • Air, Gas 0,0013 103 kg/m3
