Methodology

Gravel density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Gravel bulk density depends on grading, moisture and compaction.

moisture: Dry

packing: Bank

Source basis: Caterpillar, Earthwork volumes reference tables. Gravel, dry: bank column. https://www.cat.com/en_US/articles/ci-articles/earthwork-volumes-reference-tables.html Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Source basis: Caterpillar, Earthwork volumes reference tables. Gravel, dry: loose column. https://www.cat.com/en_US/articles/ci-articles/earthwork-volumes-reference-tables.html Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Establish aggregate grading and compacted-volume convention.

For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 2,486.325 cup (US) per t.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
