Default Gravel question

If a company says you need "x" number of tons of a certain type of
gravel, how do they measure that? Will 22 tons of 2" cover the same
area at the same depth of 22 tons of 3/4 inch stone?

General coversions.
1 ton of most gravel = 20 cu ft
1 ton of most gravel covers 120 sq ft@ 2", 80 sq ft @ 3"

1 ton of sand, cr6, cr8, dust, etc covers 100 sq ft @ 2"
