If you are new in the stone industry, you should learn some basic knowledge and some stone terms. There is some important information about the price of stones: such as the weight of the stone. So how much does one cubic meter of granite weigh? Honestly, It depends on the stone.
Generally speaking, the density of black granite is about 3.0 tons per cubic meter. Medium grey or dark grey granite is approximately 2.8 tons per cubic meter. Light colored granite weighs approximately 2.7 tons per cubic meter.
When calculating the price of stones, we need to include the weight of the stone packaging, such as the weight of wooden bundles or crates. Therefore, when quoting, you must add some extra weight. At the same time, the destination port is different, and some countries have limited weight for a 20GP container. The amount of granite that can be loaded in a container depends on the weight limit of the destination port, the thickness of the granite, the stone density, etc., to calculate the square of the quantity.
For example, the destination port can accept 27 tons per container. If it is black granite with a thickness of 2 centimeters, the formula for how many square meters can be loaded is: 27tons / 3 (Tons/m3 ) / 0.02 m=450 square meters.
Can you get my point? Thank you!
