Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I'm trying to figure out how many yards would be in 10 tons of 3/4 inch gravel.

Based on average weights of aggregate between 1/4" to 2" in diameter, you have an approximate range of between 5.85 loose cubic yards (if the gravel is wet) to 7.0 loose cubic yards (if the gravel is dry).
In a loose state, dependent on rock density and moisture content, 1 cubic yard of wet gravel weighs approximately 3400 pounds and 1 cubic yard of dry gravel weighs approximately 2850 pounds.
If you need a closer weight per cubic yard, call a local sand and gravel plant for the material they've run.
