How it's calculated

Volume per tube = π × (diameter / 2)² × height.

Cubic yards = total volume ÷ 27, then × (1 + waste %).

Bags = ceil(cubic yards × 45) — assuming 80 lb bags.

Material assumptions

  • Volume of a cylinder = π × r² × height.
  • Concrete density: 2.0 tons per cubic yard.
  • Common Sonotube sizes: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 inch diameters.
