How to use Gravel Cubic Yards & US Tons

  1. Enter length and width in feet and layer depth in inches.
  2. Enter an allowance and the supplier's bulk density in pounds per cubic foot.
  3. Add the price per US short ton and review the volume, weight and material cost.

Why use this tool

  • Converts volume into cubic yards.
  • Uses US short tons of 2,000 pounds, not metric tonnes.
  • Allows material-specific density and your own supplier pricing.

Bulk density, compaction and moisture affect the quantity delivered. The example density is not a specification. Ask the supplier for a suitable loose-to-compacted allowance and density. Excavation, haulage, tax and installation are excluded.
