This document defines and explains several basic physical properties that are used to characterize rocks, including weight measurements both dry and saturated, calculations of volume, density both dry and saturated, porosity, void ratio, moisture content, degree of saturation, and specific gravity. Key measurements include natural weight, saturated weight, weight in water, dry weight, and calculations involving ratios of these weights and volumes.
