Stowage Factor of bulk cargoes

  Stowage factor (SF) indicates how many cubic metres (or cubic feet) of space one metric tonne of a particular type of cargo occupies in a hold of a cargo ship. It is calculated as the ratio of the stowage space required under normal conditions, including the stowage losses caused by the means of transportation and packaging, to the weight of the cargo. (Wikipedia)

This is the table with SF of different types of cargoes IN BULK.
