You're a piece of work. READ what someone posts before you start
firing off mis-information, numbnutz.

Here is the original post, with a thoughtful and ON TOPIC reply. Pay
attention to which brand names are mentioned in both the question and
the reply:

Folks,
I am looking for the volume of concrete in a 60 and 80 lb bag. It

seems
its only sold by weight and the quantity calculators online at either
sakrete or quikrete are PIA since you have to convert to "equivalent

slab"
size. Someone has got to know the numbers -- looking for something like

x
cuft / 60 lb bag etc


Look at the spec data sheet
http://www.quikrete.com/Spec_D ata/concrete_mix.pdf


YIELD
=B7 An 80 lb (36.3 kg) bag yields approximately 0.60 cu ft (17 L)
=B7 A 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag yields approximately 0.45 cu ft (12.7 L)
=B7 A 40 lb (18.1 kg) bag yields approximately 0.30 cu ft (8.5 L)

You, on the other hand, post about an ENTIRELY different product,
without mentioning the product by name. This is what you used:

MAXIMIZER=99 is a proprietary formula that provides more coverage per
bag than standard mixes using specially manufactured aggregate formula
producing a high-yield (1 cubic foot per bag) concrete mix stronger
(5500 psi) than regular concrete. The MAXIMIZER=99 secret is the use of
the special aggregate formula instead of pea gravel and sand.
MAXIMIZER=99 also employs a higher proportion of cement-to aggregate,
ensuring its strength and long-term durability.

You have been getting **** for something there would have been no
argument about if you had simply posted information about YOUR product,
instead of saying, "that's what it says on the bag."

What you did is no different than if someone asked about the R-value of
fiberglass batt insulation, and you gave them the R-value for
polyisocyanurate foam without telling them you were talking about an
entirely different material. You know, lying.

Thanks for wasting everyone's time.
