I was always tought "One pallet of block equals one yard". There are 90, 8•8•16 block on a pallet.

18 pounds No one else agrees. 30 to 35 pounds for typical hollow block, and about 70 pounds for solid is the figure cited by most block manufacturers.
To fill an 8" x 8" x 16" concrete block with grout, you first need to calculate the volume of the block. The volume is 8 inches (width) x 8 inches (height) x 16 inches (length) = 1024 cubic inches. Since there are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot, this converts to about 0.59 cubic feet of grout needed to fill one block. Always consider purchasing a little extra grout to account for spillage or variations in the mix.
There are several sizes, however the one most commonly referred to is the large, rectangular block with two holes - usually used for building foundations. This type of block measures 8" x 8" x 16" and weighs approximately 29 pounds. 8 by 8 by 16 inches is the nominal size, but 7 5/8 by 7 5/8 by 15 5/8 inches actual size. It's 3/8 of an inch smaller to all room for the mortar that goes between the blocks.

A standard concrete block in the US is 16 inches long, 8 inches tall, and 4 inches wide.
a 16 inch block is 16/12 = 1.33 feet; one block is 1.33 x 1.33 = 1.77 square feet Since the patio is 8 x 8 = 64 sq ft, you need 64/1.77 = 36 blocks You will need extras if coevrage is not even.
