Abstract This paper discusses some of the properties of irregular particles that are of interest to engineers, including volume, density and surface area. Numerical and statistical information on these properties is essential (a) for a better understanding of particulates, (b) to suggest more efficient ways to utilize particulate materials and (c) to permit the creation of mathematical models that can reduce the need for lengthy real-world testing. While the motivation, examples and applications are from the construction materials industry, the results should be of interest to others. Measurement techniques used included X-ray computed tomography (CT) and multiple projected images, augmented by traditional laboratory techniques. To compare the results of these techniques, a set of 12 rocks were studied of which six were between 19 mm and 12.7 mm (0.75 in. to 0.5 in.) in size, and six were between 12.7 mm and 6.3 mm (0.5 in. to 0.25 in.) in size. Microfine versions of these rocks (
