Quickly calculate granite block volume, weight, and tonnage with our simple tool. Get accurate results in cubic meters, cubic feet, kilograms, and tons — perfect for buyers, exporters, and transport planning.
Follow these steps to accurately calculate the volume, weight, and value of your granite blocks. The calculator works for all sizes, grades, and densities.
To calculate the volume and weight of a granite block, multiply its length × width × height to get the volume. Multiply this by the average granite density (2,630 – 2,750 kg/m³) to find the weight.
Volume (m³) = Length × Width × Height
Weight (kg) = Volume × Density
Weight (tons) = Weight (kg) ÷ 1000
Block Size: 3m × 2m × 1.5m
Volume = 3 × 2 × 1.5 = 9 m³
Weight = 9 × 2,650 = 23,850 kg ≈ 24 tons
Equivalent Volume: 317 ft³
To calculate volume, multiply the block’s length × width × height. For example, a block of 3m × 2m × 1.5m = 9 cubic meters.
Granite has an average density of 2,600 – 3,000 kg/m³. This value is used to calculate weight from volume.
Weight depends on block size. For example, a block of 3m × 2m × 1.5m (9 m³) weighs about 24 tons.
Most trailers in India can carry 30–40 tons, which is usually one large or three to four smaller granite blocks.
Yes, the same formula works for any natural stone. Just use the correct density.
Granite block prices are usually quoted per ton (Weight) or per cubmic meter (Volume) . The final cost depends on block size, weight, quality, quarry location, and transport charges.
Knowing volume and weight is essential for accurate cost estimation, transportation safety, loading capacity, and project planning. Weight affects shipping and handling expenses, while volume relates to material quantity for fabrication or installation.
Granite blocks and natural stones can be priced either by weight (per ton) or volume (per cubic meter) depending on local market practices. Weight pricing is common for shipping and handling costs, while volume pricing relates more to the physical amount of stone. Since granite density varies slightly by type, volume and weight methods can both be valid but may cause confusion when comparing prices across different markets.
The weight of granite per cubic meter typically ranges between 2,600 to 3,000 kilograms (2.6 to 3.0 metric tons) depending on the granite type and color. For example, lighter-colored granites average about 2,700 kg/m³, while darker or black granites can weigh closer to 3,000 kg/m³.
Yes, but only if you know the density of the granite type. Since density varies, use the specific granite density to convert volume (m³) to weight (tons) for precise comparisons.
