Dry Gravel weighs 1.52 kg per litre. Convert litres to kilograms (and back) using its exact density.
Quick Metrology Summary
1 liter of Dry Gravel weighs approximately 1.52 kilograms (or 1520 grams) at standard room temperature. Because mass equals volume multiplied by density (\(m = V \times \rho\)), multiplying volume in liters by 1.52 gives the exact mass in kg.
Dry Gravel: Weight per Litre Explained
Dry Gravel has a density of 1.52 kg/L, which makes it 52% heavier than water. Crushed stone and gravel have a bulk density of about 1.52 kg/L, with air gaps between the pieces.
When You Need This Conversion
Driveway sub-bases, drainage, concrete aggregate and landscaping orders sold by the tonne but estimated by volume.
What Changes the Density
Angular crushed stone packs tighter than rounded river gravel. Size matters too: 20 mm and 10 mm gravel differ by a few percent.

How to Convert Liters of Dry Gravel to Kilograms
Crushed stone and gravel have a bulk density of about 1.52 kg/L, with air gaps between the pieces. To convert, multiply the volume in litres by 1.52. To go the other way, divide the weight in kilograms by 1.52.
kg = Litres × 1.52
L = kg ÷ 1.52
1 L → 1.52 kg
10 L → 15.2 kg
100 L → 152 kgExample
Convert 5 litres of dry gravel to kilograms: 5 × 1.52 = 7.6 kg, or 16.76 lb. Reversed: 7.6 kg ÷ 1.52 = 5 L.
