So you have just found a photograph of an asset that is a must have for your route. But the problem is, that there are no dimensions to start with. However, as it happens, at least in some times, places, and applications, that certain dimensions are common enough that they are almost standard. These dimensions can be used as a starting point to at least make reasonable estimates of other dimensions.

Weight and density of materials

So you want to load a car with a particular commodity, but you're not sure how much of the commodity the car will hold, you can (eventually) look up the density of the products in the tables below, and find out how much the car can hold. Note, sometimes the car can hold more--sometimes much more--of the product by volume than by weight. The creators and maintainers of these tables are not responsible if you overload the car.
