What is the volume of a brick

In order to compute the volume of a brick, we must first convert its size from inches to feet by dividing 12; hence, the volume of a brick is equal to = 9′′/12 4.5′′/12 3′′/12 = 0.75’0.375’0.25 = 0.0703 cft (cubic feet)

The standard brick size

The usual brick size is 190 x 90 x 90 millimeters (Length x Width X Thickness). Standard brick sizes are 7.48 inches by 3.54 inches by 3.54 inches (Length x Width X Thickness).In case you were wondering, a typical US brick measures 8 inches long by 3 5/8 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches high.

How do you calculate brick in square meters

120 bricks are needed per square meter to build a one brick wide wall. Therefore, the first step is to simply measure the wall’s height and length in meters, add those numbers together to get the area in square meters, and then multiply that number by 120.

How do you determine the number of bricks and mortars

To calculate the area of a wall made of bricks in one layer, multiply the wall’s length by its height. Calculate the number of bricks you should require by multiplying that area by 60 and then adding 10% for waste. The simple answer, which is based on “normal” brick and mortar sizes, is as stated above.

How many per square meter in South Africa
