Concrete Volume & Weight Calculator
Concrete comes in different types, densities, and strengths, and its weight varies based on its composition. Here's a table and guide that will help you understand how to calculate concrete weight from volume, and vice versa, for various concrete types.
Table: Common Concrete Types and Their Densities
| Concrete Type | Density (kg/m³) | Density (lb/ft³) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Concrete | 2400 kg/m³ | 150 lb/ft³ | General construction (foundations, slabs, walls) |
| Lightweight Concrete | 1600 kg/m³ | 100 lb/ft³ | Non-load bearing walls, insulation, roof decks |
| Heavyweight Concrete | 3200 kg/m³ | 200 lb/ft³ | Nuclear structures, radiation shielding |
| Reinforced Concrete | 2500 kg/m³ | 156 lb/ft³ | Buildings, bridges, structural elements |
| High-Density Concrete | 3840 kg/m³ | 240 lb/ft³ | Specialized structures needing additional weight or mass |
| Asphalt Concrete (Pavement) | 2240 kg/m³ | 140 lb/ft³ | Roads, highways, parking lots |
| Foam Concrete | 400 - 1600 kg/m³ | 25 - 100 lb/ft³ | Insulation, void filling, lightweight blocks |
| High-Strength Concrete | 2400 kg/m³ | 150 lb/ft³ | High-stress applications (high-rise buildings, bridges) |
