A six sack of concrete mix has how much cement in it?
The answer is, remarkably, 6. Answer: "6 sack" or "6 bag mix" has six bags of cement per cubic yard of concrete mix. Since each sack/bag contains 94 lbs of dry cement, this equals 564 lbs of cement per cubic yard of concrete.
How many 94 pound bags of portland cement needed for a yard of concrete?

How many cubic meter per 1 bag cement 40 kg?
One cubic meter of concrete is equal to 1.308 cubic yards of concrete. If there are 5 1/2 bags of cement in 1 cubic yard of concrete, there would be 7.2 bags in 1 cubic meter of concrete. These are the 94 pound bags of portland cement or roughly 40kg bags so figure 8 bags total. Some will be left over
How many pounds in cement bags?
A U.S. bag (or sack) of cement contains 94 lbs. Note this is for cement not premixed concrete where you just add water. The origin of 94 lbs/sack for cement comes from 1 cubic foot of loosly bagged cement weighs approximately 94 lbs; they were originally (and perhaps still) measured out by volume, but for weight calculations, the weight of 94 lbs became standardized.
Sacks per cubic yards what does it mean?
* CEMENT: 1 Sack = 94 lbs. so we can say that sack is nothing but one cement bags(50 kg)
Is cement a product or commodity?
It can be both, depending on packaging. By "cement" you're talking plain ol' Portland Cement for making concrete, correct? In bulk it's a commodity; in 94-pound bags it's a product.
How many bags of pre-mix cement is needed to mix 1 cubic yds?
Cement comes in bags that weigh 94 lbs. The volume of the bag is approximately 1 cubic foot. If you want to mix concrete which is a mixture of a coarse aggregate (gravel) and a fine aggregate (sand) and something to bond the two aggregates together (cement) then firstly you need to know the strength concrete that you require. For 1 cubic yard of 3000psi (pounds per square inch) strength you will need about 6 bags cement 12 cubic feet of sand and 24 cubic feet of gravel. Rule of thumb is the ratio should be 1:2:4 (cement:sand:gravel)
