How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For pebble and gravel:
• approximately 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For particle sizes >32mm, a thicker layer is required.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Coverage: approximately 12.5m² with a 5 cm layer.
For pine bark:
• approximately 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000L = approximately 1m³ = approximately 600kg
• Coverage: approximately 14m² with a 5 cm layer.
For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• approximately 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = approximately 1m³
• Coverage: approximately 20m² with a 5 cm layer
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of approximately 1,650kg per 1m³.
The calculation is very easy to understand with an example: if you have a gabion of 100x50x30 cm, you must do the following calculations:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to calculate an extra 5%, since when gabions are filled they expand a little and a little more stone always fits than in the theoretical calculations.
Clarifications
ATTENTION!
The grain sizes of GRAVELS AND pebbles are sieve sizes
The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when talking about, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through an 80x80mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
Through that 80x80 mesh, a stone 100mm long and 65mm wide can pass, so there may be a percentage of stones larger than 80 and smaller than 60mm.
Breakage of pebbles
On the other hand, in pebbles larger than 60mm, there is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading; to this day we do not have machinery that prevents such breakages.
In the photos you can see, only real products are shown; broken pieces have not been removed.
Dust and sand in the products
This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; the stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
Basalt for filtration and agriculture 7200 CGS Paramagnetism
Our "Basalt for Filtration" offers exceptional value, not only as a filter medium in industrial and agricultural water filtration systems, but also as a revolutionary agronomic resource for improving soil paramagnetism. Extracted from pure volcanic rock, this gravel is characterized by its strength, durability and a high level of paramagnetism, measured at 7200 mCGS.
Applications
-
Water Filtration Used in filter beds, our basalt gravel effectively retains impurities and sediment, allowing only clean water to proceed to additional stages of filtration. Its robust structure guarantees long life and consistent performance in industrial and agricultural conditions.
-
Agricultural Improvement and Increase of Paramagnetism in Vineyards By spreading 1-3 mm size basalt gravel on vineyard soils, a number of crucial agricultural benefits are promoted:
- Soil Structure: The incorporation of basalt improves aeration and drainage, facilitating a healthy root environment for the vines.
- Mineral Release: Basalt gradually releases essential minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium, which are absorbed by plants, thus enriching nutrition and supporting the robust development of vines.
- Paramagnetism: The high level of paramagnetism of basalt positively affects the structure of water and biological activity in the soil. This can increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and improve plant metabolism, resulting in higher quality grapes and more productive vineyards.
- Sustainability: This natural approach reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers, supporting more sustainable and eco-friendly growing practices.
Benefits
- Durability and Resistance: Ideal for prolonged use in demanding conditions in both filtration and agricultural applications.
- Positive Environmental Impact: Promotes sustainable growing practices and improves soil health.
- Economic Efficiency: Reduces the need for frequent chemical interventions, reducing long-term costs.
Conclusion Our "Basalt for Filtration" is more than just a filter media; It is an investment in the health and productivity of your land. Ideal for farmers, winegrowers and filtration system operators looking for efficiency and sustainability. Add this product to your farming strategy and watch it transform your soil and your harvest.
