A sand filling order needs room for the difference between the finished layer and the loose material delivered.

Enter the measured fill dimensions, then use a compaction factor and truck capacity that match your supplier's quote. Those assumptions can change the order substantially.

## Inputs and controls

* Measurement unit: Feet; Metres; Inches; Centimetres; Millimetres
* Length. Allowed range: 0.001 to 100000
* Width. Allowed range: 0.001 to 100000
* Final filling depth. Allowed range: 0.001 to 100000
* Loose to final volume factor. Allowed range: 1 to 3. Supplier volume needed for one unit of final fill.
* Truck capacity (cft). Allowed range: 0.1 to 10000
* Ordering allowance (%). Allowed range: 0 to 100. Added once to the measured requirement.
* Loose sand quote (PKR / cft). Allowed range: 0 to 1000000000. Optional. Enter your own supplier quote.
* Delivery per truck (PKR / trip). Allowed range: 0 to 1000000000. Optional. Enter your own supplier quote.

## How to use

* Choose measurement unit. Enter length, width and final filling depth.

* Enter loose to final volume factor, truck capacity and ordering allowance.

* Enter loose sand quote and delivery per truck.

* Select Calculate estimate. Read the returned values alongside the assumptions below before copying, exporting or acting on the result.


## Why use this tool

Showing volume, delivery loads and quoted cost together makes it easier to compare truck offers on the same usable capacity.


## Before relying on the result

The compaction factor is an editable estimate. Truck capacity is the usable load quoted by your supplier.


## Tool limitations

The compaction factor is an editable estimate. Truck capacity is the usable load quoted by your supplier.

## Questions

### Is the truck capacity a fixed Pakistan standard?

No. Use the usable capacity quoted for the vehicle and delivery. A truck name alone does not establish its loose material volume.

### What should I check before using Sand Filling Calculator?

Check Measurement unit, Length, Width and Final filling depth. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
