Paterson Site Materials provides insight into tonnage measurements and details the applications of #57 stone. Understanding the differences between metric tons, imperial tons, and short tons is important for construction and trade.

A metric ton (tonne) is 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds, commonly used worldwide. An imperial ton (long ton) is 2,240 pounds or about 1,016.05 kilograms, primarily used in the UK. In the USA, the short ton, equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.18 kilograms, is the standard for measuring materials like #57 stone.

At Paterson Site Materials, we sell #57 stone by the ton, using the short ton as the standard measurement in the USA. This ensures consistency for our customers.

#57 stone, with sizes ranging from 3/4 inch to 1 inch, is a versatile material used for drainage systems, as a base for concrete or asphalt, and for backfilling. Its angular shape offers stability, making it a practical choice for construction projects.
