I poured 50 65lbs bags of concrete how many tons is that? how many lbs. in a ton?
Answer:
For good strength with enough slump to work with, the water-to-concrete ratio is about 0.4:1 so you probably had about 1,300 lb of water mixed with your 3,250 lb of concrete for a total of 4,550 lb or, 2.3 tons. The water to concrete ratio could be anywhere from 0.3 to 0.5 depeding on how sloppy or firm your mix was.
2000 lbs in a ton.
There are 2000 pounds in a ton.
You poured 50 bags * 65 pounds = 3250 pounds, so 1.625 tons.
50 - 65lbs bags = 3250 lbs
Since there are 2000 lbs in a short ton (US ton)
you'd have 3250/2000 = 1.625 US tons
If you are using a regular ton there are 2240 lbs in a ton
3250/2240 = 1.451 tons
The above formulas are mathematically correct but your forgetting about the weight of the sand and water you add to the cement mix.
That will add weight also!
There are 2000 lb.s to the ton, however you must also consider the weight of the water you added which combines chemically with the concrete.
