How the Calculation Works (Simple Explanation)
Cement quantity depends on concrete volume and the mix ratio.
- The calculator uses your volume input in m³.
- It splits the total mix according to the ratio you select (cement : sand: aggregate).
- Then it multiplies the cement portion by the cement density (kg/m³) to find the total cement weight.
Example:
- Volume = 5 m³
- Mix Ratio = 1:2:4 (cement: sand: aggregate)
- Cement Density = 1440 kg/m³
Cement is 1 part out of 7 (1+2+4).
Cement Quantity = (1/7) × 5 × 1440 = 1028.6 kg
Instant and accurate!
