Formula and methodology
Formula: order volume ft³=yd³×27×(1+waste/100); mass lb=order volume×density; short tons=lb/2000; metric tonnes=lb×0.45359237/1000.
Bulk density changes with material and moisture, so it remains an input. The waste allowance is applied to volume before mass is estimated, which keeps the procurement assumption visible.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Volume — yd³; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Bulk density — lb/ft³; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 10000
- Waste allowance — %; minimum 0; maximum 100
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Volume | 2 |
| Bulk density | 100 |
| Waste allowance | 10 |
2 yd³ with 10% allowance is 59.4 ft³ and 5,940 lb, or 2.97 short tons.
Assumptions and limits
- One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.
- Density is bulk density in pounds per cubic foot for the material state being ordered.
- Settling, compaction, moisture, delivery limits, and supplier rounding are not inferred.
