Mortar bag yield
Convert a measured mortar volume into bags at your product yield.
How this works
Whole bags = ceil(required volume × allowance / manufacturer wet yield).
Example
Using the example inputs, whole mortar bags is 10 bags.
- Required wet mortar
- 5 ft³
- Wet yield per bag
- 0.6 ft³/bag
- Extra allowance
- 10 %
- Whole mortar bags
- 10 bags
Scope and assumptions
Enter product-specific wet yield; no mix recipe or strength prediction.
