help....please read.....COOOONCREEEETE

Trying to price up laying a concrete slab, the measurements give me a volume of 1.62m3. i want to convert that to weight ie kg's, as it got to be bagged stuff mixed by me. but im coming up with answers like nearly 4 ton.(4000 kg) surely that cant be right?
Disclaimer i have been drinkiung so anything is possible, but i think ive lost my marr balls

all answers appreciated, complex algorithums welcome

 

Marmite a brick

 

A cubic metre is about 2.5 tonne

Will be less if there are feathers or helium mixed with the concrete.

 

Surely you want to know how much DRY concrete mix to buy, not how much it'll weigh when wet?

 

i prfer breeze blocks, the rough texrure keeps me on my toes

 

A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter. That should get you started.

 

What's the square feet?

 

jaysus aitch christ. nooooooooo

 

Who's got square feet?

 

It weighs less if you buy a lot of it.

Before you ask...750kg.

 

who? im buying semi wet, selling dry.

 

Sponge bob square pants.

 

thanks for all tour help, im off for more grog

 

Tis wrong is't more like 4050Kg

 

Readymix.

 

1 cubic metre = 1855 kg of sand and aggregate plus 320 kg of cement. Therefore total of 2175 kg.
1.63 cubic metres will therefore = 3545 kg.

right i need to level a sloping site ie so a 3d triangle 2400 long x 1800 wide.........sloping from zero to 75 thick ....all measures in mm........gives me 1.62 cubic m


whats that in kgs? i want answers less than a ton

 

i should know this, i used to be at the concrete plant on a daily basis but it was a long time ago and now it sounds wrong

 

Why not level the site if that's all it is?
