How many liters are in 25 kilograms of cement?
How many liters are in 25 kilograms of cement?
Answer
The bulk density of cement is 1.25–1.4 kg/L, measured like this: dry fresh cement, loose bulk; not the true density of the grain. Note the range runs the other way here than on the weight page: denser packing means less volume for the same mass.
How the volume of 25 kilograms of cement was worked out
The density band gives two answers, and they swap places against the weight page: the lower volume comes from the upper density, because denser packing fits the same mass into less room.
25 kg ÷ 1.4 kg/L
≈17.9 L
dense packing
25 kg ÷ 1.25 kg/L
=20 L
loose pour
The density comes from FAO, Basic Materials for Construction. Dry fresh cement, loose bulk; not the true density of the grain.
The other way round: what a liter of this weighs
This page starts from a mass and answers in liters. The opposite question — how much a given volume weighs — is what the liters to kilograms calculator is for. Both read the same density table, so the two pages agree wherever the answer is volume times density.
For cement the density is 1.25–1.4 kg/L, so 25 kilograms takes 17.9–20 liters — and one liter of it weighs 1.25–1.4 kg.
