How heavy is a bag of cement?

From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags. To be clear, cement is mixed with sand and often aggregate (pea-gravel up to much larger rocks or other things such as broken out concrete chunks) to make concrete. Portland Cement by itself has no structural integrity when mixed with water. It must be mixed with sand at a minimum to make a hard, useful product (concrete). Concrete comes in bags weighing 50, 60, and 80 pounds here in the US.From the largest manufacturer of backaged Portland Cement, bags come in 92.5 lb bags.

Is wet concrete heavier then dry concrete?

Concrete is made of a mixture of cement, aggregate (small stones), fine aggregate (sand), water and other chemical additives. When mixed the wet concrete will remain so for Most people assume that set concrete has no water in it, this is not so, as the water content helps bond the aggregates and cement, this process is known as Hydration. Concrete with no water in it would crumble to dust. Adding more water to the mix will make a concrete that is easier to work, while less water will produce a stronger, more durable concrete. After initial setting of the concrete, a slow amount of water loss is expected due to the concrete drying, it can take anything up to a year for water to stop evaporating slowly out of the concrete. So for this reason the answer to your question is yes, dry, set concrete will weigh less than wet concrete, but for anything up to a year it will keep getting lighter, due to waterloss.


Is Pre mixed concrete better or bagged concrete?

Pre-mixed concrete is beter as it made to BSI standards and hand mixed (dry bagged) can be weakend by an inexperianced person mixing it. But it depends on what you are using the concret for; if its just a slab for a garden shed to go on it dose not realy make much differance, but if its structural you best get it pre-mixed.
