IIRC around 20kg


It does rather depend on the size. The last batch of 600x600x40mm slabs
I bought were 33kg each.


I've always worked on a relative density of 2.4 - for slabs in the real
world this woul be 2.4kg/li.
So, 900x600x50:
9x6x0.5=27li, times 2.4=64.8(kg).
The Paving Expert gives 64kg

about 80% of the way down the page.
