This tool helps you easily calculate the amount of crushed stone needed for your project.
How to Use the Crushed Stone Calculator
To use the calculator, please follow these steps:
- Enter the length of the area in feet.
- Enter the width of the area in feet.
- Enter the depth of the area in inches.
- Enter the density of the crushed stone in pounds per cubic foot.
- Click the ‘Calculate’ button to get the result.
How the Calculator Works
This calculator estimates the weight of crushed stone needed for your project. It uses the following steps:
- Converts the entered depth from inches to feet.
- Calculates the volume of the area in cubic feet using the formula: Length * Width * Depth.
- Multiplies the volume by the density of the crushed stone to obtain the weight in pounds.
Limitations
This calculator provides a weight estimation based on the input values. The actual weight can vary depending on the specific type of stone and compaction level. Always consider a margin for error and overfill slightly to ensure you have enough material for your project.
