1. What is a Limestone Calculator?

Definition: A limestone calculator estimates the volume and weight of limestone needed for a project based on dimensions and type.

Purpose: This tool aids in planning landscaping, driveways, or construction by calculating material requirements and optional costs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses these formulas:

\[ \text{Base Volume (m}^3\text{)} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Depth} \] \[ \text{Total Volume (m}^3\text{)} = \text{Base Volume} \times (1 + \text{Wastage \%}) \] \[ \text{Volume (ft}^3\text{)} = \text{Total Volume (m}^3\text{)} \times 35.3147 \] \[ \text{Weight (t)} = \text{Total Volume (m}^3\text{)} \times \text{Density (kg/m}^3\text{)} \div 1000 \] \[ \text{Total Cost (m}^3\text{)} = \text{Price per m}^3 \times \text{Total Volume} \] \[ \text{Total Cost (t)} = \text{Price per t} \times \text{Weight} \]

Explanation: It computes volume from dimensions, adjusts for wastage, converts to ft³, calculates weight using density, and computes costs per m³ and t if price is provided. All results are precise to 3 decimal places.

3. Limestone Types and Densities

Details: Options include Low-density (1960 kg/m³), Medium-density (2410 kg/m³), High-density (2650 kg/m³), Crushed (2240 kg/m³), Loose (1540 kg/m³), and Solid (2690 kg/m³).

4. Preparing for Your Limestone Project

Tips: Measure area accurately, choose limestone type based on use, account for wastage, and input price per unit for cost estimation in m³ and t.
