What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Available material volume (m³) | Net volume in cubic metres. Convert cubic units before entering the value; outside dimensions of hollow objects are not net material volume. |
| Uniform applied depth (m) | Enter uniform applied depth in m; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
The answer estimates quantity, coverage or cost from the dimensions and allowances you entered. It does not size a structural member, assess capacity or determine installation adequacy.
Common mistakes
- Mixing centimetres with metres, or outside dimensions with the actual filled volume.
- Treating allowance, compaction, supplier yield and density as interchangeable adjustments.
Check your calculation
- Measure independently, subdivide irregular shapes, and compare supplier pack/yield information with the units used here.

How it works
Divide available volume by uniform applied depth.
Worked example
Enter Available material volume: 2 m³; Uniform applied depth: 0.05 m. Results: Area covered: 40 m².
