How to calculate the no of bags required for 12mm thick 1:6
plastering?

Answer Posted / goutam giri

Considering 100 sqm plaster.
Wet Volume of plaster =100X0.012                                      =1.2 cum.
Add @ 20 % for filling the depressions, joints, wastage, etc.=0.24 cum.
                                 Total=1.44 cum.
For dry volume of mortar increased by ⅓ of volume             =0.48 cum.
Total dry volume of mortar                                                   =1.92 cum

Volume of cement:-1.92/7 = 0.2742/0.0347 =7.9 bag
Volume of sand:-0.2742*6 = 1.6452 cum
