Does anyone know how much chip weighs roughly?

[mikecotterill]

Just trying to work out at what point my trailer is overloaded, ok so it'll be a very rough guess depending on water etc. But if anyone has a m3 weight measurement that'd be great. Cheers

Been discussed before and it's around 250-300kg a cube.

Nice one cheers, I did a search but the tspatalk search tool isn't the best.

We weighed composted woodchip on the telescopic weighbridge and it's coming in around 380-420kg per m3

Wouldn't have been too damp - middle of the pile - stored outside

must admit 250 sounded too low

We use an average of 350kgs per cube up to 750kgs for the heavy stuff...

Maybe Im wrong then:blushing:

 

What is coming in at 750kg's though!!

 

I can get around 5-6 cm3 on my truck(transit size with high sides) and last time I weighed in on a bridge the chip was around 1.5 ton.

Mesterh, I think you should re-measure your chip box, unless its the biggest one on a transit ever.

Chip weight? depends really, fat chips or thin?oven baked or fried? with or without skin? wedge or fries cut?
