Calculate the amount of limestone you need for your project easily with this tool.
How to Use the Limestone Calculator
To use this limestone calculator, follow these simple steps:
- Enter the length of the area you want to cover with limestone in feet.
- Enter the width of the area you want to cover with limestone in feet.
- Enter the depth (thickness) of the limestone layer in inches.
- Enter the density of the limestone in pounds per cubic foot (the default value is 150, which is the average density for limestone).
- Click the Calculate button to get the result.
How It Calculates
The calculator multiplies the length, width, and depth converted to feet to find the volume in cubic feet. It then multiplies the volume by the density to get the weight of the limestone in pounds.
Volume (cf) = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Depth (ft)
Weight (lbs) = Volume (cf) x Density (lbs/cf)
Limitations
This limestone calculator provides an estimate based on the values you input. For precise requirements, it is always better to consult with professionals. Also, note that the density value can vary depending on the type of limestone and this calculator uses a default of 150 lbs/cf.
