Aggregate
Calculator
The Aggregate Calculator helps you to estimate the neat aggregate tonnage
required for your job. 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, but the default values
assigned for subbase stone and drainage stone are good standard "rules
of thumb" for estimating.
