Calculation method

Calculation method

Volumes by section (m³) JSON

Rectangular section volume, density × volume gives material mass; no compaction-loss assumptions.

Masses by section (tonnes) JSON

Rectangular section volume, density × volume gives material mass; no compaction-loss assumptions.

Total mass (tonnes)

Rectangular section volume, density × volume gives material mass; no compaction-loss assumptions.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Rectangular section volume, density × volume gives material mass; no compaction-loss assumptions. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
