✓Before You Convert or Order+
  • Material selected matches the supplier's actual aggregate or sand type.
  • Source quantity was entered in the correct volume or weight field.
  • Brass was treated as a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet.
  • US short ton, UK long ton, and metric tonne were not confused.
  • Converted quantity was cross-checked against the quotation or purchase order.
Full QC Checklist+

Use this checklist before relying on an aggregate conversion to verify material density, source unit, moisture condition, supplier terminology, bag size, and truck capacity.

✓Before You Convert or Order+
  • Material selected matches the supplier's actual aggregate or sand type.
  • Supplier-confirmed bulk density is used for large or critical orders.
  • Source quantity was entered in the correct volume or weight field.
  • Brass was treated as a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet.
  • Quintal was treated as a metric weight unit equal to 100 kg.
  • US short ton, UK long ton, and metric tonne were not confused.
  • Moisture condition matches the delivered material condition.
  • Bag weight was confirmed with the supplier before using bag counts.
  • Truck payload capacity was confirmed instead of assumed.
  • Truck volume capacity was checked for low-density material.
  • Converted quantity was cross-checked against the quotation or purchase order.
  • Conversion result or export was saved with project procurement records.
Inspection Notes+
Use the supplier's stated material density when available.
Record whether the quotation uses metric tonnes, US short tons, or UK long tons.
Confirm truck payload and volume capacity before scheduling delivery.
Common Mistakes+

Treating Brass as a Weight

Brass is a volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet or 2.83168 cubic metres. Its weight changes with material density.

Confusing Different Ton Units

A US short ton is 907.185 kg, a metric tonne is 1,000 kg, and a UK long ton is 1,016.047 kg.

Assuming Truck Weight Capacity Is the Only Limit

Low-density aggregate may fill the truck body before reaching its legal payload, so truck volume must also be checked.
