Formula & explanation
Mass = length × width × depth × (1+waste/100) × density
Variables & units
- Length
- m · minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000
- Width
- m · minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000
- Depth
- m · minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000
- Extra material allowance
- % · minimum 0, maximum 100
- Supplied bulk density
- kg/m³ · minimum 0.000001, maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
2.2 m³ at a supplied 1,600 kg/m³ is 3,520 kg.
Assumptions
Supply measured bulk density for your aggregate. Moisture, grading and compaction affect mass.
