Volume Conversions
Note (informative): This whole appendix is informative. The weighed mass is always the dose (see Dose).
| Medium | Approx. bulk density | 1 tbsp (15 mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Dry sand | 1.5–1.6 g/mL | about 23 g |
| Fine powders (calcium carbonate, etc.) | 0.3–1.0 g/mL, depending on product and packing | about 5–15 g |
For a typical phone at level 9, that is roughly 5 tablespoons of sand for G, and anywhere from 2 to 6 tablespoons of powder for D. The width of that range is why doses are weighed.
