Volumetric weight of potatoes, potatoes (tubers in bulk), bulk density (volume). How much does 1 cube weigh in an embankment (mass of a cubic meter, mass of a cubic meter, mass of 1 liter and mass of 1 bucket).

If we try to independently calculate the mass of a certain volume of tubers based on the specific gravity of root crops, taken, for example, from a table of physical properties. Then we get a mass of volume that is much greater than what the scales show when weighing. The calculation error lies in the fact that here we are based on the true density of the potato. Not taking into account its peculiar shape that tubers have in nature. To calculate the mass of any volume, we do not need the true density of the root crop (specific gravity), but the volumetric one. Taking into account a certain amount of air that necessarily enters this volume with potato tubers when it is filled. For some materials, compaction is possible. Then we can talk about the mass of the volume in a loosened (loosely poured) state and the mass of the volume in a compacted state. However, compaction is contraindicated for potato tubers. Potato tubers become wrinkled and root crops quickly deteriorate when compacted. There is only one option left for determining the mass of a volume - through bulk density. What will be the selected volume for which you need to know the mass of tubers in the mound? Several options are possible here, but most often they want to know the volume mass either for a cubic meter (one m3, one cube, one cubic meter) or for household containers: a bag, a bucket, a liter. How much does 1 m3 (1 cubic meter) of potatoes weigh? This is the volumetric weight of the potato and the bulk density of the potato. The number of kilograms per cubic meter is taken as indicated in Table 1.

In the case of cubes, no questions arise. One cubic meter (1 m3) is the standard value for determining bulk volume. But with buckets the situation is not so simple. The concept of a standard bucket includes several options for bucket capacity measured in liters. We consider standard buckets: a bucket with a capacity of 6 liters, a bucket with a capacity of 8 liters, a bucket with a capacity of 10 liters, a bucket with a capacity of 12 liters. In each case, weighing potato tubers for different bucket capacity options will be different. Therefore, in Table 1 we provide data for 1 liter. Knowing how much 1 liter of potato tubers weighs in a mound, we can easily calculate the weight characteristics for a standard bucket of any capacity. How to determine the capacity of an existing bucket? As a rule, the capacity of the bucket in liters is indicated on it in the form of markings. If there are no such marks or markings, then the capacity of a standard bucket for measuring potato tubers in bulk by volume is determined experimentally by the volume of water placed in the bucket. How much does a bucket of potatoes weigh? This is the volumetric weight of the potato and the bulk density of the potato. The number of kilograms of potatoes (approximate) is taken as indicated in Table 1.

Unfortunately, the capacity of bags for potato tubers in bulk is almost never regulated in liters, as would be logical to expect from the manufacturer. Quite often we can see an unusual definition of the volume of a bag in kilograms. For example: 35 kg bag, 40 kg bag, 45 kg bag, 50 kg bag, 55 kg bag. Naturally, this is a purely everyday definition that cannot be used instead of weighing potato tubers in a mound. The number of kilograms in this case has no connection with our root vegetables. Bags are universal containers. Completely different materials, products, cereals, grains, vegetables, root vegetables, watermelons, including potato tubers, can be stored in bags. How to find out the number of liters in a bag? It would be most accurate to determine the capacity of a bag for potato tubers experimentally by pouring buckets of root vegetables into the bag. With the capacity of which the situation is more or less clear. How many standard 10 liter buckets of potato tubers fit in a bag? Despite the fact that the bags vary in volume, it is believed that 4 buckets fit into one bag. This is more or less true in most cases. Although it is best to check the volume ratio in relation to the bag you have. For approximate calculations and measuring of root crops, weighing was carried out without scales; the volume of one bag is taken to be 40 liters. This is a conditional, theoretical value. You can find bags with a capacity of 38 l, 40 l, 45 l, 50 l, 55 l. How much does a bag of potatoes (potato tubers in a mound) weigh? This is the volumetric weight of the potato and the bulk density of the potato. The number of kilograms of potatoes in a bag (approximate) is taken as indicated in Table 1.

Root vegetables include carrots, beets, radishes, radishes, turnips, rutabaga, parsley, celery and parsnips. Tubers of these plants can be estimated by weight without weighing on scales using potato data. The estimate is approximate and the exact number of kilograms can only be determined after weighing on a scale. In addition to the volumetric weight and bulk density of potatoes in kilograms, quite often they want to know the mass in grams for 1 potato (1 potato tuber). How much does 1 potato weigh, see Table 2. Where the mass (number of grams) is indicated for potatoes of different sizes. In some cases, it is more convenient to calculate how much a small volume of potato tubers weighs based not on bulk density (volumetric mass), but by counting the number of root crops available. Knowing how much 1 potato weighs, we multiply its mass by the number of potatoes and find out the total mass without weighing it on a scale.

Table 1. Volumetric weight of potatoes in bulk, bulk density of potatoes. And also practical questions: what is the volumetric weight of 1 m3 of potatoes in an embankment, what is the volumetric weight of 1 cubic meter of potatoes, what is the volumetric weight of 1 cubic meter of potatoes (tubers), what is the volumetric weight of 1 cubic meter of potatoes in an embankment, what is the weight of a standard bucket of potatoes with a capacity of 10 liters What is the weight of 1 liter of potatoes?

Question. Hello! I'm looking at the Internet to calculate the number of components for preparing a concrete solution. I see that in most cases the amount of cement is tied to the preparation of 1 m3 of concrete and is measured in “cubes”. I plan to buy cement packaged in 50 kg bags. Tell me: how many cubes are in a 50 kg bag of cement?

Answer. Good afternoon To calculate the number of cubic meters of cement contained in a standard paper bag weighing 50 kilograms, let’s consider such a concept as the bulk density of cement. The number of cubic meters of binder placed in a particular container depends on this value.

The average bulk density of cement, which construction organizations and concrete plants use in their daily calculations, is 1,300 kilograms of cement in a volume equal to 1 cubic meter. To determine the number of “cubes” in one bag of cement weighing 50 kilograms, the following assumptions should be made and the simplest proportion should be solved:

• 1,300 kg – 100%
• 50 kg – x%

We solve the proportion: 50x100/1300 = 3.84%. Taking “percentages” from 1 m3, we find that a bag of cement weighing 50 kg contains 0.038 cubic meters of binder. Considering that bulk density is a variable value depending on the “freshness” of cement, the exact value of the amount of cement in a bag or other container should be determined in each specific case.

For example. You purchased a batch of cement in bags and want to know how many cubic meters of material are in the purchased containers. In this case, the variable is the specific density. You can calculate its value in the following way.

Take a suitable 1 liter container and weigh it. Convert the resulting weight to kilograms and write the value on paper. Next, pour cement into the container and weigh the container again. Subtract the recorded weight of the empty container from the resulting figure - get the weight of cement placed in a volume of 1 liter or in a volume of 1 dm3. Multiply the resulting figure by 100, get the actual value of the specific density of your cement density and calculate the number of cubic meters in the bag according to the formula given above.

Example. Weight 1 l. capacity is 100 grams or 0.1 kg.

The weight of the container with cement is 1.5 kg. The weight of the cement in it: 1.5-0.1=1.4 kg.

Weight of cement in 1 m3: 1.4x1000=1,400 kg. The number of “cubes” in a bag of cement weighing 50 kg: 50/1400 = 0.0357 m3.

Volumetric weight of potatoes, potatoes (tubers in bulk), bulk density (volume). How much does 1 cube weigh in an embankment (mass of a cubic meter, mass of a cubic meter, mass of 1 liter and mass of 1 bucket).

We provide transportation services for PACKED bulk cargo in Ukraine and internationally: Europe, Asia, CIS

The choice of method of transportation and handling of bulk materials is influenced by their characteristic properties: true density, particle size, bulk density and moisture content. The average particle size of bulk materials is 0.1 - 10 mm, so these loads are easily sprayed. To avoid loss of bulk materials during transportation, vehicles must be sealed.

Calculation of tonnage. Bulk density of construction and agricultural goods.

Knowing the bulk density is necessary to optimally select the volume of the cargo compartment of a dump truck or grain truck. The table below shows the bulk density of construction and agricultural goods, and using a calculator you can calculate the weight of a particular amount of bulk materials.

Calculator for calculating the tonnage of bulk cargo.

True and bulk densities of bulk materials

Density is the basic characteristic of bulk materials during transportation. Exists true and bulk density, which is measured in kg/m3 or t/m3.

True density is the ratio of mass to volume of a body in a compressed state, without taking into account gaps and pores between particles, and is a constant physical quantity that cannot be changed.

In their natural state (uncompacted), bulk materials are characterized by bulk density. Bulk density is density in an uncompacted state takes into account not only the volume of material particles, but also the space between them, therefore the bulk density is much less than the true one. For example, the true density of rock salt is 2.3 t/m 3, and bulk salt is 1.02 t/m 3. Sand in a bag or 30 cubic meters. salts in the back of a dump truck are loads that are in an uncompacted state. When compacting bulk cargo, its density increases and becomes true.

When buying potatoes “from hand,” you can often find sellers who sell potatoes not by weight, but in buckets, so if you decide to buy a bucket of potatoes and want to know in advance whether it is profitable to buy this way and what the weight of the purchased potatoes will be, you need to know how much does a bucket of potatoes weigh, taking into account the volume of the bucket (5, 10, 12 liters).

How many kilograms of potatoes are in a 5, 10, 12 liter bucket?

In the examples below, the potatoes were placed in a bucket with a small heap (this is how they are often sold), but it is important not to forget that the larger the potatoes, the less their mass in the bucket will be (small potatoes fit more compactly in the bucket and take up more volume):

• A 5 liter bucket can hold 3-3.5 kg of potatoes, depending on the size of the tubers.
• A 10 liter bucket holds 6.5-7.5 kg of medium-sized potatoes.
• A 12 liter bucket (a large galvanized bucket) holds an average of 9-10 kg of potatoes.

Most often, when selling potatoes in buckets, sellers use a small bucket with a volume of 5 liters or a large bucket with a volume of 10 liters; 12 liter buckets are rarely used, but can also be found.

How many buckets of potatoes are there in a bag?

If on average we use the mass of a bag of potatoes = 50 kg for calculations, then depending on the size of the bucket we will get the following data:

• 1 bag of potatoes holds approximately 5 twelve-liter buckets of potatoes or 7 ten-liter buckets of potatoes.

In conclusion to the article, it can be noted that knowing how much a bucket of potatoes weighs in kilograms, in the future it will be more convenient for you not only to buy potatoes at the market, but also to measure the harvest from your garden. We leave our reviews and useful tips on the topic of how many kg of potatoes are in a 10-liter bucket and buckets of other sizes in the comments to the review and don’t forget to share it on social networks if it was useful to you.

A bag of potatoes is a popular form of wholesale and small wholesale sales, reducing the final cost of the product. All this is ensured by a practical packaging form and reduced packaging costs. Having considered the question of how much a bag of potatoes costs, the following data were obtained:

• Bag of potatoes (20 kg): 480-500 rubles;
• Mesh 5 kg: 145-160 rub.;
• Centner (5 bags): 1550-1600 rub.;
• Wholesale (from a ton): 12 rub/kg.

Price fluctuations are largely due to:

• Seasonal factor;
• Volume of purchase.

Depending on the volume, the price of the vegetable may change. Basically the prices are presented as follows:

• From 5 kg. Small network, with an average cost of 145-160 rub.. There is no need to count on a discount on the market for such a purchase;
• 20 kg or more. This is the amount of potatoes that fits into one large bag as standard. Most often it is sold in markets where they give a good discount for such a purchase. In Moscow, the price of one 20 kg bag of potatoes is 480-500 rub., respectively, 1 kg will cost 24 rub/kg;
• Centner and more. Represents 5 or more bags. Is a wholesale purchase, so the cost will be reduced to 15 rub. per kg.
• Ton. Also available in 20 kg bags. As a rule, it is purchased for further resale. Great deals can be found in farmland (average price 11 rub/kg) or wholesale stores (cost 13 rub/kg).

The seasons also affect how much a bag of potatoes costs.

Price at different times of the year

The seasonal factor greatly influences the pricing of this product. The main time intervals are distinguished:

• Autumn (September-early November). The most profitable time to purchase bags, as the average price can drop to 12-16 rub/kg. However, you should prepare so that during the cold season the goods do not freeze and do not sprout in the spring.
• Winter (late November-February). There is an increase in prices when even a 5 kg bag of potatoes will have to be paid 35-40 rub/kg. The product will be leftovers from warehouses, so it will not have good taste and freshness;
• Spring (March-June). Time for new potatoes. Despite the fact that the price tag is falling, they are asking for a new harvest in the market 25-30 rub/kg. In Moscow stores, such as Pyaterochka, Magnit, Okay or Lenta, the price will be at the level 28-32 rub/kg.
• Summer (July-August). Prices are maintained at the level 38-45 rub.. All this continues until the arrival of autumn, when a massive sale of leftovers during the season begins.

These tips will help you understand the pricing of potatoes when buying in bags, as well as choose the most favorable time for purchasing.

The capacity of a bag for potatoes or other products, by a strange coincidence, in the vast majority of cases is not measured in liters, although this would be more logical for manufacturers. As usual, on sale you can find the volume of bags, which, for some reason, are expressed in kilograms. For example: 35 kg bags, 40 kg bags, 45 kg bags, 50 kg bags, 55 kg bags.

From theoretical scope to practical

The conclusion suggests itself that such a determination of the weight capacity of a bag is pointless to use to determine the weight of potato tubers in a mound. After all, the number of regulated kilograms in a bag has no connection with the weight of the root vegetables placed in it.

The bag is a universal container. You can pour completely different products, objects, fruits, vegetables and potato tubers into it. To more or less accurately measure weight and answer the question of how much a bag of potatoes weighs, you need to calculate its displacement.

How to find out how many liters are in an existing bag? For the greatest accuracy, an experimental method is suitable. To do this, you need to pour potatoes from buckets into it, because their capacity in liters is necessarily marked on the product itself (you should look at the bottom).

How many buckets are in a bag?

How many standard 10 liter buckets can the bag hold? A very common belief is that a bag can fit 4 buckets of potatoes. Then the question arises: “How much does a 4-bucket bag of potatoes weigh?” But for some reason they forget that bags come in different sizes. Although in most cases this opinion is still true. It would be correct to first check the potato capacity of the specific bag that is available.

To make approximate calculations for measuring root vegetables in a bag without weighing and in the absence of scales, the volume of one bag is conventionally considered equal to 40 liters, but this is only conditionally, theoretically.

The capacity of the bags varies

Most often, amateur summer residents use ordinary bags for potatoes, taken, for example, from sugar or flour, which are sewn from burlap. After all, once upon a time it was more convenient to purchase these products for a large family in bags, and the containers were left for household needs. Sometimes you can even find a bag of salt in the attic of a dacha or in a garage, forgotten since the days of the Soviet Union.

Mesh bags

Such bags usually hold 5 buckets of small potatoes; if the tubers are small, then a heap of them is possible. Although, of course, all bags are different and very different from each other in size and capacity. After all, their capacity, depending on the size and purpose, can range from 38 to 55 liters.

How much does a mesh bag of potatoes weigh? Mesh bags are available for sale, designed for five, ten, twenty, thirty kilograms.

Modern nylon bags for packing sugar and flour can hold about 50 kg of potatoes, this has been tested by experienced summer residents. The same can be said about the mesh bags in which onions or cabbage are usually packed. As for jute bags, up to 80 kg of tubers can easily fit into them. The inaccuracy in weight may be minus a couple of kilograms.

Potatoes come in different varieties

Sometimes you can peel one tuber and get a whole pan of fried potatoes. But there are also smaller tubers, like tennis balls. Don’t forget about the so-called “pea” potatoes, which are very tiny. One huge potato weighs about 500 grams, a tuber the size of a tennis ball weighs from 70 to 175 grams, and “peas” weigh very little, something like 25 grams.

Bucket of potatoes

As mentioned above, when answering the question of how much a bag of potatoes weighs on average, it is advisable to first find out the weight of the tubers in the existing bucket, then measure the number of such buckets in the bag.

The mistake in calculating the weight of a bucket of potatoes is taking the true density of the potatoes as the starting point in the calculations. But this does not take into account its peculiar shape, which is inherent in tubers in nature. You should take into account the amount of air that necessarily enters the volume of the bucket with the root crops when filling it.

If you don’t go into details and long calculations, then the answer to the question, “How much does a bag of potatoes weigh?” is this: one standard 10-liter bucket holds from 6.5 to 7.5 kg of potatoes, and an average bag can be filled with 40 liters of tubers. Further calculations are not particularly difficult.
