Cubic Meter to Kilogram Converter for Soil
The conversion from cubic meters (m³) to kilograms (kg) for soil depends on its density, which varies based on type, moisture content, and compaction. Below is a table of approximate conversions for different types of soil:
| Soil Type | Density (kg/m³) | 1 m³ to kg |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Loose Soil | 1200 – 1400 | 1200 – 1400 |
| Moist Loose Soil | 1400 – 1600 | 1400 – 1600 |
| Compacted Soil | 1600 – 1800 | 1600 – 1800 |
| Clay (Dry) | 1600 – 2000 | 1600 – 2000 |
| Clay (Moist) | 1800 – 2200 | 1800 – 2200 |
| Sand (Dry) | 1400 – 1600 | 1400 – 1600 |
| Sand (Moist) | 1600 – 1800 | 1600 – 1800 |
| Gravel | 1800 – 2200 | 1800 – 2200 |
| Topsoil (Loose) | 1200 – 1400 | 1200 – 1400 |
| Topsoil (Compacted) | 1400 – 1800 | 1400 – 1800 |
| Peat (Dry) | 400 – 800 | 400 – 800 |
| Peat (Moist) | 600 – 1000 | 600 – 1000 |
Notes:
- Moisture Content: Higher moisture increases the weight significantly.
- Compaction: Compacted soil is denser and weighs more.
- Type of Soil: Clay is heavier than sand or loose topsoil.
- Peat Soil: Peat is much lighter due to its high organic content.
