The Math / Science

Portland cement is a common cement used for concrete, mortar, some grouts and stucco.  Portland cement comes from lime from limestone and is a fine powder, produced by heating limestone and clay minerals in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding 2 to 3 percent of gypsum.  To estimate the weight of Portland Cement:

1. Go to the Mass from Density and Volume Calculator
2. Enter the amount (volume) of concrete (e.g. 2.4 cubic yards)
3. Enter a mean density of 1506.0 kg/m³ for Portland cement.
