Whats the weight of wood chip?

[AardvarkTreeServices]

Does anyone know the weights of various types of chipped wood per cubic meter? I'm after the weight of chipped leylandii at the moment but it would be good to have figures for others if they vary much.

Hopefully someone will come up with a more accurate answer than mine but iirc from an old thread around the 300-350kg per cubic metre sounds about right.

How long is a piece of string.

 

I use IBC containers which hold a cubic mtr but can vary in weight from 0.25 tonne upto 0.5 tonne depending on the moisture content. I dont pay for water so my assumed dry weight is o.25 tonne per IBC container.

I work on it being roughly 1.5 ton for 4 cubic meters.

well i depends on chip size to ,we use a jenson at the moment and it comes out like dust ,where as the other chipper blows much larger chip which makes a big differance to weight in the same size conainer

an ODT of 10mm> chip is 2m3 in volume so 0.5t/m3 but larger chip could be as low as 0.25t/m3 if oven dry but is more likely to be 0.5t due to MC.

We assume: 1 tonne woodchip = 2 m3 Solid Wood = 5 m3 woodchip @ 30% MC

 

But there are a whole load of variables to consider also, for example settling during transit, especially with us and bumpy, rough roads.....

Its a very simple formula to give you the exact answer to within 1kg and it goes thus. 1msqx volume to the power of 10/0.36. Assuming 0.36 is x then x+y with 4 carried over is 72% of the E=mc2. The answer....4 light years:confused1:. Feel free to just ignore me ha ha:lol:
