 percentage of bulking DISCUSSION
It is seen that bulking increase with icreasing water content up to a certain
40 point where it is maximum and then it begin to decrease until when the
sand in inundated with bulking being pratically. With ordinary sands, the
30 bulking usually varies between 15 and 25 percent. If, therefore, in volume
batching no allowance is made for bulking, the mix will be richer than
