Density Reference

How it works

This calculator converts all dimensions to cubic yards and multiplies them by the material density to get the total weight in tons. Each material has a different density, so select the appropriate type or enter a custom value.

Material Density (tons/yd³) Type
Asphalt1.8Compacted
Gravel1.6Crushed stone
Sand1.5Dry, loose
Loose Millings1.5RAP / Reclaimed
Crushed Rock1.7Angular
Pea Gravel1.4Rounded
Limestone1.5Crushed
Concrete2.4Standard mix
Topsoil1.2Screened
Clay1.8Wet, compacted

Note: densities may vary based on moisture content, compaction, and specific material composition. Always verify exact specifications with your supplier.

Disclaimer: The results generated by this calculator are approximate estimates based on the values entered by the user and average reference densities. Calculations are not fully precise and may vary depending on actual site conditions, compaction, moisture, and other project-specific factors. This tool is provided solely for guidance purposes, to estimate the amount of material needed to cover an area at a specific thickness, and should not be used as the sole basis for purchasing, budgeting, or construction decisions.
