As there are several "types" of gravel, we may have to "average out" the densities. Or we could make some calculations for some different "flavors" of gravel. Dry, loose gravel weighs a bit over 1522 kg/m3 - 23.24 cu yd/27 tonnes Gravel with sand weighs a bit over 1922 kg/m3 - 18.40 cu yd/27 tonnes Dry gravel, 1/4 to 2 inch weighs about 1682 kg/m3 - 21.03 cu yd/27 tonnes Wet gravel, 1/4 to 2 inch weighs about 2002 kg/m3 - 17.67 cu yd/27 tonnes There are about 1.31 cubic yards in a cubic meter, and there are 1,000 kg in a tonne. Those are your conversion factors. As you depart from these gravel types, your volume of material will vary, naturally. Recall that aggregates are generally sold by volume, specifically the cubic yard, and weights are "not important" in the transaction. Your aggregate supplier will have figures for the density of his materials that should be pretty accurate.
What else can I help you with?
How do you convert cubic yards of gravel to square yards of gravel?
You cannot directly convert cubic yards to square yards because they measure different things: volume vs. area. Cubic yards measure volume, while square yards measure area. To find how many square yards cover the same area as a cubic yard of gravel, you would need to know the thickness or depth of the gravel layer.
How many cubic yards in 16 tons of gravel?
16 tons of dry sand occupies approximately 320 cubic feet of volume.
How many yards of gravel does it take to cover area 70'x21'x1?
To calculate the amount of gravel needed to cover an area of 70 feet by 21 feet to a depth of 1 foot, first find the volume in cubic feet: 70 x 21 x 1 = 1,470 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide the total volume by 27: 1,470 ÷ 27 ≈ 54.44 cubic yards. Therefore, you will need approximately 54.44 yards of gravel.
How much gravel is needed to cover 7.2 cubic yards?
You would need 7.2 cubic yards of gravel to cover an area that requires that volume of material. It's crucial to ensure that you acquire the right amount to prevent any shortage or surplus during your project.
What is the metric unit used to measure regular solid volume?
Cubic metres but dm3 can be used. i dm3 = 1 litre (L)
How many square yards of gravel are in an area 5 yards wide by 28 yards long by 2 inches deep?
To find the volume of gravel in cubic yards, first convert the depth to yards: 2 inches is 1/6 yard. Then, multiply the dimensions to get the volume in cubic yards: 5 yards wide x 28 yards long x 1/6 yard deep = 23 1/3 cubic yards. Since 1 cubic yard is equal to 1,296 square inches, multiply the volume by 1,296 to convert to square inches: 23 1/3 cubic yards x 1,296 = 30,158.22 square inches. Finally, divide by 9 to convert square inches to square yards: 30,158.22 square inches / 9 = approximately 3,350.91 square yards of gravel.
The volume of a box is 5184 cubic inches How many cubic yards is the volume of the box?
A box with a volume of 5,184 cubic inches has an equivalent volume of 0.11 cubic yards.
Is there a formula to figure out how much gravel is needed for a slab?
Yes, to calculate the amount of gravel needed for a slab, you can use the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Depth. First, measure the dimensions of the area where the slab will be placed, then convert these measurements into the same unit (e.g., feet or meters). Multiply these dimensions to get the volume in cubic feet or cubic meters. Finally, since gravel is typically sold by the cubic yard, convert the volume from cubic feet or meters to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (for cubic feet) or 1.31 (for cubic meters).
How many yards of gravel fit into a 55 gallon drum?
To determine how many yards of gravel fit into a 55-gallon drum, you first need to convert gallons to cubic yards. A 55-gallon drum holds about 0.2 cubic yards (since 1 cubic yard equals 201.97 gallons). Therefore, approximately 0.2 cubic yards of gravel can fit into a 55-gallon drum.
What is the formula for calculating how much gravel will be needed for walking paths?
To calculate the amount of gravel needed for walking paths, you can use the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Depth. First, measure the length and width of the path in feet, then determine the desired depth of gravel in feet. Multiply these three dimensions together to get the volume in cubic feet, and if needed, convert this volume to cubic yards by dividing by 27 (since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard).
How many tons of pea gravel to cover 958 sq ft 3 thick?
To cover 958 square feet with 3 inches of pea gravel, you first need to convert the thickness to feet, which is 0.25 feet. The volume needed is 958 sq ft × 0.25 ft = 239.5 cubic feet. Since there are approximately 0.67 cubic yards in a cubic foot, you convert to cubic yards: 239.5 cubic feet ÷ 27 = about 8.86 cubic yards. Given that pea gravel weighs about 1.5 tons per cubic yard, you would need approximately 13.3 tons of pea gravel.
How many yards of Gravel will I need for 8x8x90'?
An 8-foot wide by 90-foot long by 8-inch depth requires a minimum of 2,565.5 cubic yards (22.8 tons) of gravel.
