How to calculate
Estimate gravel volume and mass from area, depth and bulk density.
Volume = area*depth/100; Estimated mass = area*depth/100*density
Worked example
Area (m²): 40; Depth (cm): 10; Bulk density (kg/m³): 1600.
Volume: 4 m³; Estimated mass: 6,400 kg.
Assumptions and limits
Bulk density and compaction vary with aggregate size and moisture. Add a project-specific allowance.
