Convert between square feet, cubic feet, brass, cubic metres, and cubic yards. Essential for Indian construction material estimation — sand, gravel, and aggregate in brass.
1 brass = 100 cubic feet. This is the standard definition used across India for measuring sand, gravel, and aggregate materials in construction.
1 brass = 2.832 cubic metres (approximately). The exact conversion is: 100 cu ft × 0.028317 = 2.832 m³.
To find brass from area, multiply the area (sq ft) by the depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, then divide by 100. Example: 200 sq ft × 0.5 ft (6 inches) = 100 cu ft = 1 brass.
Brass is used to order and measure bulk construction materials — sand (reti), crushed stone (gitti), gravel, and similar aggregates. One brass lorry or tractor load typically carries 0.5 to 2 brass depending on vehicle size.
5 brass = 500 cubic feet = 500 × 0.028317 = 14.16 cubic metres.
Yes, 1 brass = 100 cubic feet is the standard definition used nationally. The unit is most commonly used in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh.
For a 1000 sq ft slab at 4 inch depth: 1000 × (4/12) = 333 cu ft = 3.33 brass of material needed (plus wastage factor of 10-15%).
