How much is one ton of gravel?
do you mean cubic yards? depends upon the rock type and how fine it is, but one reference notes that one cubic foot of gravel typically weighs about 100 pounds. So 1 ton has 2000/100 or 20 cubic feet of gravel. A cubic yard is 3x3x3 = 27 cubic feet to the cubic yard Answer is 20/27 or 0.74 cu yard. I'd round that to 3/4 cubic yard. Other factors that affects the volume of gravel is the moisture content and the grading of the material. Pea gravel for instance contains all particles of a specified size, say, 1/4 inch. With most particles being the same size, the air voids in the bulk material are maximized, therefore one ton of pea graves has more volume than one ton of random size material. If you have gravel of 1/4 inch maximum size along with all sizes smaller than 1/4 inch, the air voids in the bulk material are very small because the smaller particles fill the spaces between larger particles. One ton of random size material will occupy less volume. The other factor, moisture, causes the volume of one ton of loose placed material to increase. Therefore, one cubic yard of moist gravel will weigh less than one cubic yard of dry gravel. This trait is reverse what seems logical because of the added weight of the water. What actually occurs is the moist surfaces of the gravel particles causes them to stick together in random patterns (resulting in larger air voids) rather than sliding tightly together. The increased air in moist gravel more than offsets the increased weight of water so one cubic yard of moist loose (not compacted) gravel weighs less than one cubic yard of dry gravel. Almost all gravel sales are by weight (ton) rather than by volume because of this factor.
