Number of concrete blocks needed = 90 concrete blocksīy multiplying the core volume of a single concrete block by the number of concrete blocks needed to build the wall, we can then find the fill volume, as shown below:įill volume = core volume per concrete block × number of concrete blocks neededįill volume = 0.006424 m³ × 90 concrete blocksįrom our calculations above, we can now say that we need around 0.5782 m³ of concrete or mortar to fill the concrete blocks that we will use to construct our wall. Number of concrete blocks needed = 7.2 m² / 0.08 m² Number of concrete blocks needed = (3.0 m × 2.4 m) / (0.4 m × 0.2 m) Number of concrete blocks needed = (wall width × wall height) / (block width × block height) Now that we have all the details we need, we need to divide the total wall area by the area of a concrete block to find the number of blocks our wall needs: The core volume of a standard size 6-inch concrete block is approximately 392 in³ or 0.006424 m³. Burnishing can be on as many as three sides of each unit depending on the application.As a sample calculation, let us consider building a 3.0-meter wide and 2.4 meter high wall using 6-inch thick standard 8" × 16" (20 cm × 40 cm) concrete hollow blocks. Burnishing is when the face of the unit is ground to a smooth “burnished”, flat, consistent surface which exposes the aggregates in the composition of the block. Minimum quantity production order may be required.īurnishing is the process of running concrete masonry block through a polishing line and burnishing the face of the unit.

Splitting block exposes the aggregate in the composition of the block. Splitting block thisway allows for the most natural split face to emerge and it keep the each individual block unique. Split-Face is the art of splitting specially design blocks (that has been molded together) with a guillotine splitter. Minimum quantity production order may be required.
