Pasadena Site Materials offers clarity on tonnage measurements and details the uses of #57 stone. Understanding the differences between metric tons, imperial tons, and short tons is key for construction and trade.

A metric ton (tonne) is 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds, widely used internationally. An imperial ton (long ton) is 2,240 pounds or about 1,016.05 kilograms, mainly 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 Pasadena Site Materials, we sell #57 stone by the ton, using the short ton as the standard measurement in the USA. This ensures accuracy 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 provides stability, making it a reliable choice for construction projects.
