ISO 14688 grades gravels as fine, medium, and coarse, with ranges 2–6.3 mm (0.079–0.248 in) for fine and 20–63 mm (0.79–2.48 in) for coarse. One cubic metre of gravel typically weighs about 1,800 kg (4,000 lb), or one cubic yard weighs about 3,000 lb (1,400 kg). Gravel is an important commercial product, with a number of applications.
In shipping, the stowage factor indicates how many cubic metres of space one tonne (or cubic feet of space one long ton) of a particular type of cargo occupies in a hold of a cargo ship. [1] It is calculated as the ratio of the stowage space required under normal conditions, including the stowage losses caused by the means of transportation and ...
0.75 m³ (1 cubic yard) cart-away mixing trailer. A variant of standard concrete transportation is the concrete (or, cement) mixing trailer. These small versions of transit-mix trucks are used to supply short loads of concrete. They have a concrete mixing drum with a capacity of between 0.76 and 1.34 cubic metres (1 and 1.75 cu yd).
"short ton" is used in the US; 1 short ton = 2,000 pounds = 0.907 tonnes. 1 t = (1/0.907) short tons = 1.102 short tons. ... the unit is used as an aggregate in ...
