No equivalent in cubic inches is given in the statute, but later regulations specify it as 5,826 cubic inches. [4] Some products have a standard weight or volume that constitutes a barrel: Cornmeal, 200 pounds (91 kg) Cement (including Portland cement [5]), 4 cubic feet (113 L; 30 US gal) or 376 pounds (171 kg) [3]
[citation needed] In the concrete and petroleum industry, however, a bag of cement is defined as 94 lb (43 kg) because it has an apparent volume close to 1 cubic foot (28 litres). [61] When ready-mix concrete is specified, a "bag mix" unit is used as if the batching company mixes 5 literal bags of cement per cubic yard (or cubic metre) when a ...
Bags have been used as standard measures for a variety of commodities which were actually supplied in bags or sacks. These include: Cement is commonly sold in bags of 94 pounds weight, because this is about 1 cubic foot of powdered cement. [1] Agricultural produce in England was sold in bags which varied in capacity depending on the place and ...
In the original metric system, the unit of dry volume was the stere, equal to a one-meter cube, but this is not part of the modern metric system; the liter and the cubic meter are now used. However, the stere is still widely used for firewood .
Portland cement had been imported into the United States from England and Germany, and in the 1870s and 1880s, it was being produced by Eagle Portland cement near Kalamazoo, Michigan. In 1875, the first portland cement was produced in the Coplay Cement Company Kilns under the direction of David O. Saylor in Coplay, Pennsylvania . [ 11 ]
Cubic decimetre the volume of a cube of side length one decimetre (0.1 m) equal to a litre 1 dm 3 = 0.001 m 3 = 1 L (also known as DCM (=Deci Cubic Meter) in Rubber compound processing) Cubic centimetre [5] the volume of a cube of side length one centimetre (0.01 m) equal to a millilitre 1 cm 3 = 0.000 001 m 3 = 10 −6 m 3 = 1 mL Cubic millimetre
The output obtained from a site mix concrete plant using a 8/12 mixer is 4 to 5 metric cubes per hour which is 30-60 metric cubes per hour in a ready mix concrete plant. Better handling and proper mixing practice will help reduce the consumption of cement by 10 – 12%.
Approximately 8 acres (32,000 m 2) of soil was contaminated by wood with arsenic, chromium, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 8% of Portland cement was used by wet weight of contaminated soil. Both in situ and ex situ processes were utilized to treat over 35,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil.
