How to Use the Limestone Calculator?

1. Select Limestone Type: Choose between crushed limestone, solid limestone, or enter a custom density. This selection determines the density used in calculations.

2. Enter Dimensions: Input the length, width, and depth of the area you want to fill with limestone. Use meters for all measurements.

3. Specify Wastage: Enter a percentage for wastage. This accounts for spillage, uneven surfaces, and other factors that might require additional material. The default is set to 10%.

4. Optional Price Input: If you know the price per ton of limestone, enter it to get a cost estimate.

5. Calculate: Click the “Calculate” button to process your inputs. The calculator will display:

• Volume needed (in cubic meters)
• Weight needed (in kilograms)
• Weight in tons
• Estimated cost (if price was provided)

This calculator is designed to be user-friendly and adaptable to various project needs. It takes into account different limestone types and densities, allowing for more accurate estimates. The inclusion of a wastage factor is particularly useful for practical planning, as it helps ensure you order enough material to complete your project without significant shortfalls.
