To use the Aggregate Calculator, simply enter the width, length, and
thickness of your job, and click on whether you are measuring the
thickness in feet or inches. Next, click on either Base Rock, Drain Rock,
or a custom density selection. The Base Rock and Drain Rock selections
will fill in the density of the rock for you; the Custom selection allows
you to enter a rock density in the Density field. Finally, click on the
Calculate
button. The calculator will estimate the number of tons of aggregate that
will be required.
Please note
that densities will vary somewhat between different loads, but the default
values assigned for Base Rock and Drain Rock are good standard "rules of
thumb" for estimating. |
