A density test is a type of materials test to determine the density of compacted soil, rock, or other materials, either in the field or in a lab setting. This is important for activities like building roadways, embankments, and berms, where a particular density is required for safety. Standards may be set by government agencies or through internal policies, and testing may need to take place before construction can proceed, and before facilities are opened to the public, to reduce the risk of safety problems.

Density test is very important in construction field, it does relate to safety such as in case of soil compaction for building,roadways, embankments, where a particular density is required for safety. Standards may be set by government agencies or through internal policies, and testing may need to take place before construction can proceed, and before facilities are opened to the public, to reduce the risk of safety problems.If certain defined/required density is not achieved then it may lead to settlement which will affect durability of structural.Therefore density is very important for soil,rock,asphalt or any other material to make the structure durable.

Density test is very important in case of constructing multiple story buildings,roads and embankments so that risks can be overcome and for safe and sound project
