Convert between tonnes, cubic metres, and cubic yards for common aggregate materials.
Converting 50 tonnes of Granular A (1600 kg/m³):
Use this when comparing supplier quotes given in different units, checking delivery quantities against ordered tonnage, or estimating volume needed for a granular base or sub-base layer.
Bulk densities vary by source, moisture content, and compaction. For contract quantities or payment certificates, use the supplier's certified density values, not general estimates.
Density depends on the material source, particle size gradation, moisture content, and how compacted it is. Always confirm with your specific supplier when accuracy matters.
Granular B is typically slightly denser than Granular A due to its larger aggregate size and gradation, though both fall in a similar range around 1600-1700 kg/m³.
