The weight of pea gravel can vary, but on average, it weighs about 100 to 110 pounds per cubic foot. Since there are approximately 28.3 liters in a cubic foot, fourteen liters is about 0.5 cubic feet. Therefore, fourteen liters of pea gravel would weigh roughly between 50 to 55 pounds.
It is not possible to accurately determine the weight of pea gravel in a cubic foot without knowing the specific gravity of the gravel. However, a common estimate is that pea gravel weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard. This would equate to roughly 84 pounds in 0.5 cubic feet.
The volume that needs to be filled is 11 x 45 x 0.5 = 247.5 cubic feet, say 250.There is a lot of info if you google pea gravel weight. The most frequent weight I saw in those postings was about 100 lbs per cubic foot. So the weight of 250 cuft of pea gravel is about25,000 lbs or 12.5 tons.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 54 half-cubic-foot bags
One yard of PEA Gravel weighs approximately 3,000 pounds Clarification: one CUBIC yard weighs approx 3,000 pounds.
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.
To determine how much pea gravel is needed to cover a 600 square foot driveway, you first need to decide on the desired depth of the gravel layer, typically 2-3 inches. For example, if you choose a depth of 3 inches (0.25 feet), you would calculate the volume by multiplying the area by the depth: 600 sq ft x 0.25 ft = 150 cubic feet. Since pea gravel typically weighs about 100-110 pounds per cubic foot, you would need approximately 15,000-16,500 pounds of pea gravel, which translates to about 7.5-8.25 tons.
The coverage area of 5 cubic feet of pea gravel will depend on the thickness at which it is spread. To determine this, you will need to know the desired depth of the pea gravel. You can calculate the square footage coverage by dividing the volume of the gravel (5 cubic feet) by the desired depth in feet.
A standard bag of pea gravel typically contains about 0.5 cubic feet of gravel. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, you would need approximately 54 bags of pea gravel to fill 1 cubic yard. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific volume listed on the bag, as sizes may vary.
First, you need the density of pea gravel. This depends heavily on particle size and cleanness of the gravel, but a density of 3000lb/yard3 is a realistic estimate. If you want the final answer in metric, it's useful to convert the density to 1780kg/meter3. Knowing this density, you can use it as a conversion factor. You just take the mass of your Pea gravel (for example 50kg) and multiply it by 1 meter3/1780kg to make the units cancel out. Or if you want it easy, just take the weight of your pea gravel in kilograms and divide it by 1780 to get volume in cubic meters. This is a very rough estimate, and actual values depend on the density of the pea gravel being used. The basic idea for any conversion is that you get the density and make sure it uses cubic meters.
