Sand Layer Thickness & Caliper Depth Gauge

Determines resulting layer depth from given tonnage or volume over any target square footage.

Depth (in/mm) LAYER THICKNESS = VOL ÷ AREA THICKNESS MATH • Depth (in) = (CFT / Sq.Ft) × 12 • Depth (in) = (yd³ × 324) / Sq.Ft • Depth (mm) = (m³ / Area m²) × 1000 • 1 Ton dry sand = 20 CFT volume

📏

Thickness in Inches

Derives resulting layer depth from cubic yards and area in square feet.

Depth (in) = (Cubic Yards × 324) / Area (sq ft)
📐

Metric Thickness in Millimeters

Computes millimeter layer thickness from cubic meters and area.

Thickness (mm) = (Volume m³ / Area m²) × 1000
⚖️

Depth from Tonnage

Calculates resulting depth from delivered tons of sand.

Depth (in) = ((Tons / 1.35) × 324) / Area (sq ft)
