Masonry Sand
Fine clean sand used in mortar mixing, bedding underlayments, and plastering projects.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Standard Value |
|---|---|
| Actual Dimensions | Fine aggregate (under 4.75mm) |
| Unit Weight / Density | 100 lbs/ft³ (1,600 kg/m³) |
| Estimated Price Range | $35 - $55 per ton |
| Dry Density | 95 - 105 lbs/cu ft |
| Bulk Density | 2,700 lbs per cubic yard |
| Moisture Factor | Increases weight by 10-15% |
Overview & Cost Implications
Masonry sand is washed and screened to create uniform fine grains. In cost estimation, bulk orders are calculated in tons, where one cubic yard yields roughly 1.35 tons of dry sand.
Standard Formula Used
For estimating materials quantity and weight on job sites, estimators use this mathematical model:
Weight = Dry Volume × 100 lbs/ft³ INTEGRATED ESTIMATOR
