Concrete Density Calculator
Calculate the density of concrete based on mix proportions, aggregate types, and moisture content. Determine fresh and hardened concrete density for structural calculations.
Step 1: Concrete Components
Concrete Components
Typical concrete consists of cement (300-450 kg/m³), aggregates (1600-1900 kg/m³), and water (150-200 kg/m³). The specific gravity of aggregates affects final density.
Step 2: Measurement & Units
About Concrete Density
Normal weight concrete typically ranges from 2200-2500 kg/m³ (140-155 lb/ft³). Lightweight concrete can be as low as 300 kg/m³, while heavyweight concrete can exceed 4000 kg/m³ for radiation shielding.

Density Formula
Density = (Cement + Aggregate + Water) / (1 – Air Content)
To calculate concrete density: Sum the weights of all components, then divide by the total volume accounting for air content. Adjust for aggregate absorption and moisture content for accurate results.
