FIELD: check facilities. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for checking density of wooden and stone material specimens of irregular form. According to proposed method, specimen of irregular form is taken and placed into one of two transparent measuring vessels made in form of balance pans. Water-resistant loose load is poured into other measuring vessel to bring scales to balance. Level of loose load is measured and then loose load is poured into measuring vessel containing specimen under test. Total level of loose load is measured and density of specimen of irregular form is determined by difference of two measurements of ratio of product of loose material volume and its density to volume of specimen. ^ EFFECT: simplified process of measuring density of irregular form specimens of different natural materials. ^ 2 cl
