This document specifies a method for the determination of the sludge (bulk) density. The procedure to determine density of the liquid and of the solid fractions of a suspension is described in Annex C.

This document is applicable to sludge suspensions from:

• storm water handling;

• urban wastewater collecting systems;

• urban wastewater treatment plants;

• treating industrial wastewater similar to urban wastewater [7];
