What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Your supplier bulk density (kg/m³) | Enter your supplier bulk density in kg/m³; 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
Multiply volume by the bulk density supplied for your specific material and moisture/compaction state.
Worked example
Enter Material volume: 2 m³; Your supplier bulk density: 600 kg/m³. Results: Estimated material mass: 1200 kg.
