Stack vs Pile ?

[Isaac]

I know I could go and pull a 1m3 stack apart and throw it into a plie and see but does anyone know off hand how much volume a 1 cubic meter stack would equate to if losely piled into say one meter cubed crates ?

I'm guessing about 1.6m3 ?

I was asked the question earlier and didn't know the answer ?

Thanks.

Read in another post here some time back but cant remember source...

 

1 SOLID m3 = 1.54 STACKED m3 = 2.5 LOOSE m3

1 STACKED m3 = 0.65 SOLID m3 = 1.63 LOOSE m3

1 LOOSE m3 = 0.62 STACKED m3 = 0.4 SOLID m3
