Generally weight of concrete depending on type of ingredient mixed in it there quantity and proportion, presence of rebar in concrete, grade of concrete, thickness of slab, according to this basis concrete is categorised into three categories rcc concrete, normal weight concrete and lightweight concrete.

The weight of concrete is determined by its density, which can vary based on the amount of aggregate, water, and air in the mix, on average mean density of concrete slab is about 2400 kg/m3, which is exactly equal as 24kN/m3 or 150 lbs per cubic foot, or approximately equal as 4050 lbs per cubic yard.

In United States, based on Imperial measurement system, in this article we know about weight of concrete per gallon and also know about weight of a gallon of concrete.

Weight of concrete per gallon

Based on Imperial or US customary measurement system, generally weight of concrete is about 2400 kg per cubic metre, which is exactly equal to 4050 pounds per cubic yard or 150 lb per cubic foot or approximately equal to 2.4kg/ liter.

As 1 litre of concrete weight about 2.4 kg, in United states, 1 US gallon is equal to 3.785 litres, so weight of 3.785 litres of concrete = 2.4× 3.785 = 9.084kg, which is exactly equal to 20 pounds, and in united kingdom, 1 UK or Imperial gallon is equal to 4.546 litres, so weight of 4.546 litres of concrete = 2.4× 4.546 = 10.91kg, which is exactly equal to 24 pounds.
