The weight of gravel depends on the type and density or grading.
Unit weight of granite aggregate.
Bulk density specific gravity and voids2.
Limiting values of mechanical properties3.
Unit in kg m 3 or lb ft 3.
Unit weight of steel 7850 kg m3 cement 1440 kg m3 sand dry 1540 to 1600 kg m3 brick 1600 kg m3 aggregates 1750 kg m3 bitumen 1040 kg m3.
In this definition the volume is that contains both the aggregates and the voids between aggregates particles.
Gravel loose dry weighs 1 522 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 522 kilogram per cubic meter i e.

For estimating purposes most contractor s consider the yield to be 3 000 pounds per cubic yard or 1 5 tons per cubic yard.
In imperial or us customary measurement system the density is equal to 95 02 pound per cubic foot lb ft or 0 8798 ounce per cubic inch oz inch.
Approximate water absorption of aggregates by weight4.
Gravel is used for a wide range of purposes from roads to driveways and more.
In most cases a cubic yard of gravel weighs between 2 400 to 2 900 pounds 1 088 to 1 315 kg.
Density of gravel loose dry is equal to 1 522 kg m.
As specific gravity is just a comparison it can be applied across any units.
The density of 57 granite stone.
