Manufactured sand made by crushing rock: M-sand for concrete and masonry, P-sand (finer) for plaster.

Why it matters

River sand is scarce and often adulterated in Tamil Nadu, so M-sand and P-sand are now standard. Quality varies, so the source matters.

How Elamentt handles it

Our quantities count sand as M-sand and P-sand by the 100 cft unit, as it is sold in Chennai.
