How Sand Calculation Works
Volume Calculation
Sand volume is calculated by multiplying length × width × depth. Your area of 10 × 10 feet with 6" depth gives us 50 cubic feet of sand needed.
10 ft × 10 ft × 0.5 ft = 50 cu ft
Weight Calculation
Weight depends on sand type and density. River sand has a density of 1650 kg/m³.
Volume in cubic meters: 1.42 m³
Weight: 1.42 m³ × 1650 kg/m³ = 2,336.14 kg
Cost Estimation
Cost is estimated at ₹50 per cubic feet (average market rate in India). Actual prices may vary based on location, quality, and supplier.
50 cu ft × ₹50 = ₹2,500
Unit Conversions
- Cubic Meters: 1 cu ft = 0.0283168 cu m
- Cubic Yards: 1 cu yd = 27 cu ft
- Brass Units: 1 brass = 100 cu ft (Indian measurement)
- Weight: Varies by sand type (1600-1750 kg/m³)
Pro Tips for Sand Usage
Sand Selection:
- • River Sand: Best for concrete and plastering
- • Manufactured Sand: Consistent quality, good for construction
- • Masonry Sand: Fine grade, ideal for mortar work
- • Always check sand quality and silt content
Practical Considerations:
- • Add 5-10% extra for wastage and compaction
- • Consider transportation costs
- • Check moisture content (affects weight)
- • Store sand properly to avoid contamination
