It depends on the weight of the bag.

To calculate the volume of any bag we need to know the density. In freshly packed bags the standard density is 94 lbs/ft3 (1505 kg/m3).

Example: to know the volume of a 50kg cement bag we divide the bag weight by the density, i.e.:

50 kg ÷ 1505 kg/m3 = 0.0332 m3

In practise, sand, cement and gravel are sold by weight, yet they must be mixed by volume. the black rubber buckets used in the building trade hold one 25kg bag of cement. a standard builders wheelbarrows volume is 70Lts so holds 4 of these buckets. The standard shovel here in Ireland is the long handled dovetail and 4 heaped shovels fills a bucket as near as need be.

How many shovel of gravel in a 80 pound bag concrete?

The amount of gravel needed for an 80-pound bag of concrete can vary based on the desired mix ratio. Generally, a typical concrete mix might use about 1 part cement to 2 parts sand and 3 parts gravel. For an 80-pound bag of concrete, you would typically use around 0.6 to 0.8 cubic feet of gravel, which translates to approximately 4 to 5 shovels, depending on the size of the shovel and how densely packed the gravel is. Always refer to specific mixing instructions for the best results.


How many cubic yards in an 80 lb bag of cement?

AnswerThere is 2/3 cu. ft. per 80 lb. bag of pre-mixed concrete. AnswerIt takes 133 pounds of quikrete to make 1 cubic foot, so...- there is 0.6 cubic feet (80/133) in one 80 pound bag, and it takes one and two-thirds 80 pound bags of quikrete to make 1 cubic ft (133/80 = 1.66).- there is 0.45 cubic feet (60/133) in one 60 pound bag, and it takes about two and one-quarter 60 pound bags of quikrete to make 1 cubic ft (133/60 = 2.22).- there is 0.3 cubic feet (40/133) in one 40 pound bag, and it takes three and one-third 40 pound bags of quikrete to make 1 cubic ft (133/40 = 3.33).Multiply by 27 to get cubic yards (so it would take 45 eighty pound bags to make a cubic yard).To further help calculate how much you need for your project, you can visit the Related Link.


How many sq feet can you get out of a 80 pound bag of concrete?

An 80-pound bag of concrete typically yields about 0.6 cubic feet of mixed concrete. To determine the square footage it can cover, you need to know the thickness of the slab you're pouring. For example, if you're pouring a 4-inch thick slab, an 80-pound bag would cover approximately 12 square feet.


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.
