KG to cu/M converter ???

[utterlydiy]

I've been searching Google for a converter or formula.

Converting bulk bag of 800kg of damp/wet sand into cubic/metres to workout how much would be needed for a project of a certain thickness over an area.

Any clues

thanks

Equation
----------
Volume (m3) = kg Required (kg) / Variable a (kg/m3)

Or

kg being Delivered (kg) = Variable a (kg/m3) x Volume Ordered (m3)


Or if you buy by weight:

Weight Required (kg) = Depth of Sand Required (m) x Surface Area of Room (m2) x Variable a (kg/m3)

Or if you buy by volume:

Volume Required (m3) = Depth of Sand Required (m) x Surface Area of Room (m2)


Where ‘Variable a’ for Sand is:
-----------------
Sand, wet 1922 kg/m3
Sand, wet, packed 2082 kg/m3
Sand, dry 1602 kg/m3
Sand, loose 1442 kg/m3
Sand, rammed 1682 kg/m3
Sand, water filled 1922 kg/m3
Sand with Gravel, dry 1650 kg/m3
Sand with Gravel, wet 2020 kg/m3


Hence for your example of 800kg:
--------------------------------------

Volume (m3) = kg Required (kg) / Variable a (kg/m3)
Volume (m3) = 800kg / 1922 kg/m3
Volume (m3) = 0.416m3
Volume (m3) = Less than half a cubic meter of wet sand

We always work on one tonne of gear will do half a cube.
