Crushed Stone kg to Liters Converter Formula
The Crushed Stone kg to Liters Converter formula is:
Volume (L) = Mass of crushed stone (kg) ÷ 1.55 kg/LThe reverse formula is Mass (kg) = Volume of crushed stone (L) × 1.55 kg/L.
Worked example
25 kg (55.12 lb) of crushed stone ÷ 1.55 kg/L = 16.13 L (4.261 US gal).
Angular crushed stone locks together under load, unlike rounded gravel. Single-size crushed stone holds about 40% voids, which suits drainage layers and soakaways.
