    As a transporter for a decade in Chennai Keerapakkam
    Rock stone density value:
    One Cft

    = 40kg

    100 Cft

    = 1 Unit

    1 Unit

    = 2.83 Cum

    2.83 Cum

    = 4 ton

    4 ton /2.83 cum = One Cubic metre is equal to weight 1.413 metric ton, this density value is
    proven factor,
    Got tallied with the above data.
