Enter the grout mass (kg) and the grout density (kg/m^3) into the Grout Volume Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Grout Volume. 

Grout Volume Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Grout Volume. 

GV = GM / GD
  • Where GV is the Grout Volume (m^3)
  • GM is the grout mass (kg) 
  • GD is the grout density (kg/m^3) 

How to Calculate Grout Volume?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Grout Volume.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the grout mass (kg).
    1. The grout mass (kg) is given as: 500.
  2. Next, determine the grout density (kg/m^3).
    1. The grout density (kg/m^3) is provided as: 50.
  3. Finally, calculate the Grout Volume using the equation above: 

GV = GM / GD

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

GV = 500 / 50 = 100 (m^3)

FAQ

What is grout density and why is it important in calculating grout volume?
Grout density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3), is a measure of the mass of grout per unit volume. It’s crucial for calculating grout volume because it helps determine how much space the grout will occupy, which is essential for ensuring the right amount of grout is used in construction and repair projects.

How can you measure the mass of grout accurately?
The mass of grout can be measured using a scale. Before measuring, ensure the scale is calibrated and set to zero. Place the container with grout on the scale and record the weight in kilograms (kg). For large projects, industrial scales that can handle higher capacities may be necessary.

Can the grout volume calculator be used for any type of grout?
Yes, the grout volume calculator can be used for any type of grout as long as you have the necessary measurements of grout mass and density. Different types of grout may have different densities, so it’s important to use the correct density value for the type of grout you are working with.
