Abstract
Value of particle density of tropical peat materials commonly is considered to be 1.4 g/cm3. This value was based on the measurementusing a pycnometer. However, this value would not be correct for tropical peat that has coarse material that could plug the narrow opening of the pycnometer. Hence, the use of pycnometer to measure particle density of tropical peat material has a possibility to get false values because the coarse material will inhibit the measurement process. Therefore, we are proposing the use of a three phases meter to measure particle density of tropical peat materials. The particle density value obtained by using three phases meter was around 1.8 g/cm3. The value was higher than pycnometer result due to the three phases meter could ensure the measurement of all size tropical peat material.
