Samuel, Density varies so much that it can be misleading to quote figures. The type of material, it's moisture content and it's particle size cause great variance. The densification process and the settings of the machine also change density by a wide margin. We can make pellets or briquettes which can be crumbled with your fingers or so hard they can barely be broken with a hammer. Pellet size is normally about 3/16" diameter and 1/4 to 3/4 " long. Briquettes are from 2" to 4" diameter and 1" to 4" long. If you have a specific material in mind and a specific end use, then we could help you with better answers.
