Rip Rap Calculator Calculate volume and weight of rip rap (armor stone) needed for erosion control. — free online calculator.

Formula

Volume (cu yd) = L × W × D(ft) ÷ 27; Tons = cu yd × 1.6
  • Rip Rap Calculator calculates its result from D Ft, Length, Width, Cu Yd. It uses the formula Volume (cu yd) = L × W × D(ft) ÷ 27; Tons = cu yd × 1.6. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are D Ft, Length, Width, Cu Yd. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Rip Rap

Inputs
  • D Ft: 2
  • Length: 3
  • Width: 4
  • Cu Yd: 5
