The basic things you should know to calculate the volume of 1 bag of cement are:
- Density of cement = 1440 kg/ m³
- 1 bag = 50 kg of cement
- 1 m³ = 35.3147 cubic feet
- 1 m³ = 10³ liters
Let’s see how can we calculate the volume of 1 cement bag by using all the values mentioned above.
The volume of cement bag in meter cube (m³)
Number of cement bags required in 1 m³ = Weight of cement in 1 m³/weight of cement in one bag
i.e., number of cement bags required in 1 m³ = 1440/50 = 28.80 No’s
∴ Volume of one cement bag = 1/28.8 = 0.034722 m³
Volume of cement bag in cubic feet (CFT)
since, 1 m³ = 35.3147 cubic feet = 28.80 No. of bags
∴ Volume of one cement bag = 35.3147/28.80 = 1.226 CFT (cubic feet)
Volume of cement bag in Litres
since, 1 m³ = 10³ liters
Volume of one cement bag = 0.0347 m³ = 0.034722 x 10³ = 34.4722 litres
∴ Volume of one cement bag = 34.4722 litres
