This tool helps you easily calculate the amount of gravel needed for your paver project.
How to Use the Paver Gravel Calculator
To use this paver gravel calculator:
- Enter the length of the area in meters.
- Enter the width of the area in meters.
- Enter the desired depth of the gravel in centimeters.
- Enter the gravel density in kilograms per cubic meter, which is usually around 1600 kg/m³.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the total weight of the gravel required in kilograms.
How It Calculates the Results
The paver gravel calculator works by calculating the volume of the area to be covered and then multiplying it by the density of the gravel. Here is the step-by-step breakdown:
- Convert the depth from centimeters to meters.
- Calculate the volume by multiplying the length by the width and then by the depth (in meters).
- Multiply the calculated volume by the gravel density to get the total weight in kilograms.
Formula: Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Depth (m) × Gravel Density (kg/m³)
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate based on the dimensions and gravel density inputted:
- Ensure all measurements are accurate for the best results.
- Gravel density can vary depending on the type of gravel.
- This calculator does not account for wastage or compaction of gravel over time.
