Instructions
Step 1
Take a single red (silicate) brick, which has standard dimensions of 250x120x65 mm and is designated in the documents as 1.0. Calculate its amount in 1 cubic meter. m, - you get 513 pieces with a mass of 3.6 kg (hollow weighs 2.5 kg). Ask your dealer for the average density of the material to calculate the exact weight of 1 cc. m (weight can vary from 1200 to 1800 kg).
Step 2
Take one-and-a-half red or silicate brick with standard dimensions of 250x120x88 mm, denoted in the documents as 1, 5.0. Calculate how much will fit in 1 cubic meter. m. You will get about 379 products. The mass of one full-bodied one-and-a-half brick is 5, 4 kg, hollow - 3, 75 kg.
Step 3
Take a double red or silicate brick, which has standard dimensions of 250x120x138 mm, designated in the documents as 2.0. Calculate its amount in 1 cubic meter. m. It turns out about 200 pieces. The mass of a solid double brick is 7.2 kg, a hollow brick is 5 kg.
Step 4
Go to a standard brick pallet and measure the entire brick with a tape measure if it is laid out in a rectangular or square shape. Make sure the 1st pallet can hold 1 cubic meter of material.
