Coverage Area Formula:
From: | To: |
This calculator determines how much area a 25kg bag of sharp sand will cover based on the desired depth of application. It's useful for construction and landscaping projects.
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates volume first (weight/density), then divides by depth to get area.
Details: Accurate coverage calculations help in purchasing the right amount of materials, avoiding waste or shortages on job sites.
Tips: Enter the desired depth in meters (e.g., 0.05 for 5cm). The result shows how many square meters one 25kg bag will cover at that depth.
Q1: What's the density of sharp sand?
A: Standard sharp sand has a density of approximately 1600 kg/m³, though this can vary slightly.
Q2: How do I convert depth from cm to m?
A: Divide cm by 100 (e.g., 5cm = 0.05m).
Q3: What if I need to cover a specific area?
A: Divide your total area by the coverage per bag to determine how many bags you need.
Q4: Does this work for other sand types?
A: Different sands have different densities - adjust the density value accordingly.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a good estimate, but actual coverage may vary slightly based on sand compaction and moisture content.
