Density of Tomato Paste: Complete Guide for Industrial Buyers

For industrial tomato paste buyers and food manufacturers, density is a critical technical parameter used in quality control, logistics calculations, and production formulation. This article explains the standard density ranges for different Brix levels, how density affects production and shipping, and offers quick reference tables for practical use.

What Is the Density of Tomato Paste?

Tomato paste density varies based on its soluble solids content (Brix). Higher Brix means thicker paste and higher density. Below are globally accepted industry ranges used in trade, processing, and export documentation.

1. Standard Tomato Paste Density Values

28–30 Brix Tomato Paste

• Density: 1.08–1.10 g/mL
• Equivalent weight: 1080–1100 kg/m³

30–32 Brix Tomato Paste

• Density: 1.10–1.12 g/mL
• Equivalent weight: 1100–1120 kg/m³

36–38 Brix Tomato Paste (High-concentration grade)

• Density: 1.18–1.20 g/mL
• Equivalent weight: 1180–1200 kg/m³

Actual values may vary slightly depending on tomato variety, processing method, and regional production standards.

2. Why Density Matters in the Tomato Paste Industry?

✔ Logistics & Weight Calculation

Density helps calculate shipping weight, palletization, drum/IBC fill weight, and container loading plans.

✔ Quality Control & Specification Verification

Density correlates closely with Brix, making it an important indicator for confirming product consistency and compliance.

✔ Costing and Formulation

Process engineers and food manufacturers rely on density to determine ingredient ratios, dilution levels, and production yields.

3. Tomato Paste Density Conversion Table

Example Calculations

• 220L drum × 1.11 g/mL ≈ 244.2 kg net weight
• 1,000L IBC × 1.12 g/mL ≈ 1120 kg

4. Applications in Real-World Export Scenarios

• Container loading optimization for 20ft/40ft shipments
• Factory acceptance and quality documentation
• Preparation of technical sheets for global buyers
• Comparing supplier specifications before purchasing

Density is a key parameter widely used by buyers in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South America when verifying tomato paste quality.
