Dirt Load Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Dirt Load (\(DL\)):

\[ DL = DV \times D \]

Where:

\(DL\) is the Dirt Load (lbs)
\(DV\) is the dirt volume (ft³)
\(D\) is the dirt density (lbs/ft³)

What is Dirt Load?

The Dirt Load is a measure of the weight of dirt based on its volume and density. It is calculated by multiplying the dirt volume by the dirt density.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Dirt Volume (\(DV\)) = 10 ft³
Dirt Density (\(D\)) = 100 lbs/ft³

Using the formula:

\[ DL = 10 \times 100 = 1000 \text{ lbs} \]

The Dirt Load is 1000 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Dirt Volume (\(DV\)) = 5 ft³
Dirt Density (\(D\)) = 120 lbs/ft³

Using the formula:

\[ DL = 5 \times 120 = 600 \text{ lbs} \]

The Dirt Load is 600 lbs.
