I would need to know the density of the substance in order to create the conversion for you.

The only data I know of is from Reade at:
http://www.reade.com/Particle_Briefings/spec_gra2.html

It only lists one size, and does not specify which size it is, it just says crushed.

If any of those on that page will work, I can create the conversion using that data. Or if you have the density of the items on your list, I can create the conversions for you.
