The weight of a stone is about 1.3 tons to 3.0 tons, mainly depending on the density, shape and size of the stone. Density is the basic property of matter, which is related to its mass, volume and spatial position. The density of stone is usually 2.5-3.0g/cm3, which means that the mass of stone per unit volume is 2.5-3.0g.. ..
The shape and size of stones have a great influence on their weight. For example, round stones with the same volume are lighter than stones because the density distribution of stones is uneven. In addition, the size of the stone will also affect its weight, because larger stones contain more voids, thus reducing its overall density.
Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and pressure will also affect the weight of stones. For example, in a humid environment, stones may absorb water and expand, resulting in their weight increase. Similarly, under high pressure, stones may become denser and heavier.
The mineral composition of stones will also affect their weight. Different minerals have different densities. For example, the density of granite is about 2.7 g/cm3, while that of gypsum is about 1.7 g/cm3. Therefore, stones with different mineral compositions will have different weights.
Matters needing attention in transporting gravel
1. Select appropriate vehicles and equipment: the vehicles transporting sand and gravel should be trucks or large trucks with sufficient load and stability. At the same time, it is necessary to use appropriate loading equipment, such as forklift or excavator, to ensure the safe loading and unloading of gravel.
2. Check the road conditions and weather conditions: Before transporting sand and gravel, you must carefully check the road conditions and weather conditions. If the road surface is slippery or there are obstacles, corresponding measures should be taken to ensure transportation safety. In addition, weather factors, such as rainfall, fog or strong wind, need to be considered, which may adversely affect the transportation process.
3. Reasonable route planning: When formulating transportation routes, factors such as road conditions, traffic volume and distance should be considered. Choosing the shortest path can reduce time and fuel consumption, but at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the road is in good condition and will not cause damage to vehicles and goods.
4. Obey traffic rules: During transportation, traffic rules must be strictly observed. Including speed limit, courtesy to pedestrians and other vehicles, no overload, etc. These rules help to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure the smooth transportation process.
