Best Answer

Powder Factor is the relationship of Explosives to Volume. It describes how much explosives are needed to blast a particular volume of rock.

The easy formula is PF = (lbs of explosives used) / (yd^3 of rock blasted)

It is just an indicator, so you can use whatever units of measure are common in your application.
