Formula and assumptions
How this calculation works.
Keep distinct debris streams separately contained and apply each carrier-supplied volume and mass limit. Containers per stream = max(ceil(stream volume / container volume), ceil(stream volume × density / supplied mass limit)).
A worked example
Illustrative inputs only. Product properties and design dimensions are not recommendations for your project.
- Measured loose stream volume
- 3 m³
- Supplied stream bulk density
- 1,000 kg/m³
- Carrier supplied container volume
- 4 m³
- Carrier supplied material mass limit
- 2,000 kg
- Measured loose stream volume
- 3 m³
- Supplied stream bulk density
- 100 kg/m³
- Carrier supplied container volume
- 4 m³
- Carrier supplied material mass limit
- 2,000 kg
Containers for separated material streams: 3 containers
Every row is separately contained; density and carrier limits are supplied. No hazardous-waste classification, legal transport limit or mixing permission is inferred.
Before you purchase
Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.
All product dimensions, coverage, density, allowances and joining rules must come from your supplied plan or selected product. No building-code values are inserted.
