What is the conversion factor for 1 ton of 50mm crushed limestone to cubic meters?
Weight of broken limestone=1554 kilograms per cubic meter. One tonne=1,000 kilograms. One tonne broken limestone=.64 cubic meters.
How much does a cubic yard of crushed limestone weigh?
One cubic yard of broken limestone weighs about 1.3 tons. One cubic yard of pulverized limestone weighs about 1.17 tons.
What is the Weight of 6 inch crushed limestone per square yard?
If you are looking for the weight of limestone for 6 inches x 3 feet x 3 feet, that will be ABOUT 459 pounds. Limestone aggregate is roughly 2700 pounds per cubic yard.
What is the density of crushed limestone?
you would have to measure the rock because all rocks have different densities. it depends on the rock's properties of matter. that will determine what the rock's density is.
What does 1 cubic yard of crushed limestone weigh?
4050lbs. A cubic foot of concrete weighs 150lbs. There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fresh concrete can weight about 3700 lbs for every cubic yard. The density will also determine how much is its weight. assuming its weight to be around 150 lbs for per cubic feet. This would make it around 4000 lbs which could come to 2 tons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Calculating the weight of reinforced concrete could be a bit more difficult since this type come with steel bars. On an average, we could assume 500 lbs for steel density per cubic feet which is almost 3 times more than cement. So with this calculation, we can assume the weight of reinforced concrete to be around 4000 lbs.
How much does 1 cubic yard of crushed asphalt weigh?
A cubic yard of finely crushed asphalt will weigh about 2,600 pounds
What does 1 cubic yard of crushed concrete weigh?
They typical weight of a yard of crushed concrete runs around 3,000lbs or a ton and a half. The weight will vary between company mainly because of the crush size. The smaller the crush size the more weight per yard.
What does 1 cubic yard of road gravel weight?
About 2,700 pounds. Actually weight can vary up or down depending on how finely the stone is crushed, water content and the type of stone.
What is the weight per cubic foot of crushed concrete roadbase?
The weight varies depending on the size of the crushed concrete. Large pieces typically have a calculated weight range of 120 to 130 lbs per cubic foot (i.e. rip rap, rubble) while smaller pieces have a calculated weight range of 135 to 145 lbs per cubic foot (i.e roadbase, soil stabilizer). The reason for the difference is that a cubic foot of large aggregate is not as dense and small aggregate because large aggregate does not compact as tightly as the small rock, creating voids between the aggregate.
Why is limestone used as an aggregate?
Crushed limestone course aggregate for concrete is typically sold in competition with natural river gravel. River gravel is usually dug from deposits found in the bends of major rivers which have flowed out of rocky terrain. These stones are usually very hard and typically round because they have been broken away from the hills and then water currents literally "polish" them as they roll down the river. This gravel is found in deposits that also contain sand most of the time. Usually there is more sand than gravel. Many gravel deposits contain stones that are about the correct size to make concrete, so the only prep work necessary is to separate the sand from the gravel and remove any clay, wood or other foreign material. Because it is relatively easy to produce river gravel as compared to crushed limestone, usually the first source of aggregates developed for a community is gravel. As the gravel deposits are depleted and people learn the advantages of crushed aggregate, the use of crushed limestone in concrete increases. Crushed limestone has several important advantages over river gravel as an aggregate for concrete. First, for a given amount of cement in the mix, crushed limestone concrete will have an approximately 10% strength advantage. This strength advantage comes from the fact that cement bonds tighter to limestone than to a slick/smooth gravel and the strength that is derived from the sharp angular faces of the crushed aggregate. Second, because crushed limestone has a lighter unit weight than gravel, it will require about 12% less crushed limestone than gravel to mix a cubic yard of concrete. Additionally, crushed limestone concrete is easier to saw through than gravel concrete. This is because most gravel is silica. Silica is almost impossible to cut with a steel saw. Crushed limestone concrete also has a lower thermal coefficient of expansion than gravel concrete. This means that slabs poured with limestone concrete will expand and contract less than gravel concrete for a given change in temperature. Studies have shown that this thermal stability coupled with limestone's superior curing properties results in greater crack spacing, and less crack width in limestone concrete slabs.
How do you determine cubic weight?
There is cubic volume or there is weight but not cubic weight.
How many yards of limestone in a ton?
Assuming solid limestone, not pulverized: Solid limestone weighs approximately 163 lbs per cubic foot. If we divide 2000 by 163, we come up with 12.27 cubic feet. a cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so a ton of limestone (12.27 cubic feet) would be about .45 cubic yards.
