Usually 1 cubic foot. It can be sold in smaller bags, but when someone refers to the ratio of cement in a concrete mix (i.e. a "5 bag mix") then they mean 1 cubic foot.

What is the Volume of cement in a 94 pound bag of portland cement?

1 94-pound bag of cement is approximately equal to 1 cubic foot.


What is the volume of 1 jumbo bag of cement?

Depends on the size of the bag, normally around 2000 kilos.


Floor Screed mix ratio?

The acceptable standard is 4:1 (That is 4 wheelbarrows of sand to TWO bags cement) as the volume of a wheelbarrow is roughly double that of a 50kg bag of cement. Lots of builders get "confused" by this.


How much concrete can be made using one bag of cement?

Concrete strength is measured by "bag mix", meaning that the bag mix answers the question, how many bags of cement per yard of concrete. If you're looking for a "6 bag" mix, that means 6 bags of cement per yard of concrete. A "bag" of cement is 1 cubic foot. A yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet (3 X 3 X 3 = 27). If you want to make a "6 bag mix" of concrete, using 1 bag of cement, you would make 1/6 yard concrete with 1 bag of cement. If you would be content with a "5 bag mix", you could make 1/5 yard. Concrete is often defined as ratios of cement,sand,aggregate such as: 1:2:3 which is a very common mix. For a 1:2:3 mix you would need 1/6th of the volume to be cement. The dry ingredients are generally 1.6 x finished concrete volume. Therefore dry volumen for 1 cubic yard = 1.6 cu yards = 43.2 cu ft. 1/6 x 43.2 = 7.2cu ft. Therefore, if one bag is 1 cu ft we need 7.2 bags for a healthy 1:2:3 mix. A '6 bag mix' or a '5 bag mix' are a bit short on cement.

How many cubic feet in a bag of cement?

to calculate the volume of any bag we need to know the density. In freshly packed bags the standard density is 1440 kg/m3.Example: to know the volume of a 50kg cement bag we divide the bag weight by the density, i.e.:50 kg ÷ 1440 kg/m3 = 0.0347 m350kg = 0.0347 m3,50kg = 1.23 CFT======================================In the USA, a bag of cement usually weighs 94 pounds and has a volume of 1 cubic foot.


Why it is important to measure the density of cement?

to identify package size,weight=volume*density. if you know density you will know the volume of the bag.


How many liters of cement in a 50 kg bag?

A 50kg bag of cement is generally 33l. Generally 2 x 50kg bags fill 1 x 65l wheelbarrow. If you are unsure, read the back of the bag. Or check with your manufacturer. The RD is a comparison with the same volume of water at a controlled temperature. This should not be used to calculate the volume of cement in a bag. Use the Bulk Density of that type of cement. That info can be obtained from the manufacturer. An example is Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) has a bulk density of 1500kg/m3. This means it is 1.5kg/l. 50kg/1.5 = 33.3l.

What is the number of bags of cement required in 1 cubic meter if 1 bag cement is to 4 bag gravel is to 6 bags sand mixture of concrete?

To properly answer this question, one would need to know the volume of a "bag", since "bag" isn't any standard of volume or weight. Typical Portland Cement has a density to 1505kg / cubic meter. In addition, one would also need to know the coarseness of the gravel, as the ability of the sand and cement to fill in the aggregate depends heavily on the average size of the gravel pieces.
