Gravel Calculator

Calculate gravel volume and weight from area, layer depth, bulk density, and an ordering allowance.

Order volume
2.2 m³
Weight
3.52 tonnes

How the calculation works

Volume = area × depth/100. Weight = volume × bulk density. The allowance increases volume and weight by the selected percentage.

Inputs

  • Area, m²
  • Depth, cm
  • Bulk density, kg/m³
  • Allowance, %

Calculation details

Enter depth in centimeters and density in kg/m³. Covering 20 m² to 10 cm requires 2 m³ before allowance.

Bulk density varies with material, particle size, and moisture. The default is an example; confirm it with your supplier. The allowance can include compaction if its factor is known.
