"Teleman" wrote in message ... "Sue Begg" wrote in message ... Hi, Does anyone know how much bark weighs? We have 2 suppliers locally - one sells by cubic metre, the other by the ton. Without a conversion figure it is like trying to compare apples and oranges and since I need about 12 cu metres a small difference could make a big impact on my pocket :-)) -- Sue Remove the puppies to reply You tried phoning them and asking ? I imagine a lot would depend on the size of the actual "chips" themselves - the smaller the chip, the more tightly they pack together, and the more each cubic metre would weigh Teleman ___________________ Take care. Many suppliers use the 'ton' as a measure of volume rather than weight. If they fill a ten ton truck level then they often call that ten tons; whereas the actual weight would be very much less. For true weight a weighbridge would need to be involved; which is most unlikely. Best Wishes Brian. |
