Concrete Weight Calculator by Volume
Here's a table summarizing key information about the weight of concrete by volume. The weight of concrete depends on the type of concrete mix, but the standard weight of normal concrete is generally around 2,400 kg per cubic meter (kg/m³) or 150 pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³). The following table includes different concrete types and their corresponding weight ranges:
| Concrete Type | Density (kg/m³) | Density (lb/ft³) | Weight per 1 Cubic Meter (kg) | Weight per 1 Cubic Yard (kg) | Weight per 1 Cubic Foot (kg) | Weight per 1 Cubic Meter (lb) | Weight per 1 Cubic Yard (lb) | Weight per 1 Cubic Foot (lb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Concrete | 2,400 | 150 | 2,400 | 2,400 | 2.4 | 5,291 | 5,291 | 5.29 |
| Lightweight Concrete | 1,600 to 1,900 | 100 to 119 | 1,600 to 1,900 | 1,600 to 1,900 | 1.6 to 1.9 | 3,527 to 4,188 | 3,527 to 4,188 | 3.53 to 4.19 |
| Heavyweight Concrete | 2,400 to 3,600 | 150 to 224 | 2,400 to 3,600 | 2,400 to 3,600 | 2.4 to 3.6 | 5,291 to 7,936 | 5,291 to 7,936 | 5.29 to 7.94 |
| High-Strength Concrete | 2,400 to 2,500 | 150 to 156 | 2,400 to 2,500 | 2,400 to 2,500 | 2.4 to 2.5 | 5,291 to 5,512 | 5,291 to 5,512 | 5.29 to 5.51 |
| Pumice Concrete | 1,000 to 1,500 | 62.5 to 93.5 | 1,000 to 1,500 | 1,000 to 1,500 | 1 to 1.5 | 2,204 to 3,307 | 2,204 to 3,307 | 2.20 to 3.31 |
| Foamed Concrete | 300 to 1,600 | 18.7 to 100.0 | 300 to 1,600 | 300 to 1,600 | 0.3 to 1.6 | 661 to 3,527 | 661 to 3,527 | 0.66 to 3.53 |
Key Notes:
- Normal Concrete: Standard concrete with a general density of about 2,400 kg/m³ or 150 lb/ft³.
- Lightweight Concrete: Made using lightweight aggregates such as expanded clay or expanded polystyrene, reducing the weight compared to normal concrete.
- Heavyweight Concrete: Used for radiation shielding or structures requiring high density, typically made with aggregates such as barytes or magnetite.
- High-Strength Concrete: Concrete designed for very high strength applications (compressive strengths of 40 MPa or higher).
- Pumice Concrete: A very lightweight mix made using pumice aggregates. It is often used in insulation or lightweight structures.
- Foamed Concrete: Concrete with an air-entraining agent mixed into it to produce bubbles, resulting in lower density and higher insulation properties.
