A brick weighs 2 kg and another half brick. How much does a brick weigh?

Standard brick weight 3.5 kg

The weight of the brick must be taken into account when transporting it, loading works. A standard brick measures 250x120x65 mm and weighs 3.5 kg. But this mass depends on many parameters and can differ significantly from the standard one.

Red brick weight

In everyday life, ceramic brick is called red. Its weight depends on its brand, presence of voids, and shape.

The weight of a solid (without voids) standard ceramic brick (250x120x65 mm) is 3.4-3.8 kg.

The weight of a hollow (with voids) standard ceramic brick (250x120x65 mm) is 2.5 kg.

It is believed that the weight of a solid red brick 250x120x65 mm is 3.5 kg.

This building material can be used for the construction of stoves and fireplaces, swimming pools, as it is resistant to water and high temperatures.

Since there are not only single bricks, but also one-and-a-half and double bricks, their weight is different. In addition, the weight varies depending on its classification (field of application). How much a red brick weighs can be found in the table.

Sand-lime brick weight

Sand-lime brick is often called white because of its color. The weight of sand-lime brick differs from the weight of ceramic brick with the same dimensions. The scope of its application is quite diverse - the construction of load-bearing and interior walls, construction of fences. Its use is not recommended in conditions high humidity and temperature.

In addition, from the table you can find out how many bricks are in a pallet, the weight of the pallet and the weight of a brick cube.

To the question: A brick weighs a kilogram and half a brick. How much does a brick weigh? given by the author Alfiya the best answer is x - brick weight
0.5x - weighs half a brick
1+0.5x - brick weight (according to the terms of the question)
x=1+0.5x
x-0.5x=1
0.5x=1
x=2
brick weight 2kg - this is according to the task
in general - According to GOST, the weight of a standard red clay brick is 3.14 kilograms.
soooo! According to my formula, a brick is equal to 2 kg.!!!
Imagine that we put 2 kg of brick into one bowl! and on the other 1kg + half a kipich
at the same time, if a 2-kilogram brick is divided in half, it is 1 kg. accordingly, a 2-kilogram brick = 1 kg + half a brick that weighs 1 kg. everything works out.. and what’s not clear here....

Answer from Flush[newbie]
2 kg.
task for 1st grade:
the weight of the brick is X, then the leveling will be: X = 1kg + 0.5X.

Answer from tractor manufacturing[guru]
three kg

Answer from John_23[guru]
wow....are you a candidate of science or what?

Answer from First class[guru]
I guess 1.5 kg.

Answer from Ўry[master]
Is it really 2 kg? Something is not enough!

Answer from Yergey Bukhavtsov[guru]
1 kilogram

Answer from Evgenia[master]
Well, since a brick weighs a kilogram and half a brick, then probably 2 kg. I even now know why!

Answer from Yatyana[guru]
one and a half kilograms

Answer from Irina Korovina[newbie]
2 kilograms

Answer from Yebastian Pereiro[guru]
I have new sneakers, why do I need a brick :)

Answer from Kp[guru]
you are just a humanitarian =)

Answer from Volatile[master]
Zamyliny ancient question NOT interesting or relevant anymore

Answer from Yergey Kudelkin[guru]
Firstly, bricks are different. Usually it is 4kg.
1kg+(4:2)=3 THREEkg.
And in your case 2kg. The brick is wrong

Answer from Dima Titov[guru]
The condition of the problem is not entirely correct, but I also think your math skills are a little difficult. The brick weighs x. A half brick weighs 1/2x. and if so, then it is true that: 1+1/2x=x. It follows that this damn brick weighs 2 kg.
Regarding your comment to Ira Filonova: a brick weighs not a kilogram, but 1 kg plus half a brick, here half a brick is the “unknown” weight of the increase.
In general, it’s better not to ask such questions in this category, it doesn’t look much like science, it’s better to ask your deskmate, classmate or colleague (underline as appropriate :))

Answer from A.M. Efimov[guru]
Spit on the math and the crooked condition of the problem:
Place a brick on one pan of the scale. On the other we place a kilogram weight and half a brick.
Now let's break the solid brick in half and remove half a brick from each cup of weight.
We get: on the left is half a brick, on the right is a kilogram weight
That is, half a brick weighs one kilogram
And two half-bricks, that is, intact, weigh two kilograms

Answer from Igor[guru]
Is half a brick half of the same brick that we are weighing or some other one?
If it’s different, you need to look at GOST.
And again the question is - how much does a brick weigh - a whole one or one from which half was torn off?

Answer from Nina Mincheva[guru]
2kg - in 1st grade they decide!

Answer from Jamara Sizova[guru]
Answer 4 kg

Answer from Dreamer[guru]
Just everything. You will tear your idea away from all the bricks))) These are just the conditions of the question. Look: we have 1kg data. half a brick and finally the brick itself. Imagine a scale on which a whole brick weighs on one bowl, and on the other a 1 kg weight and half a brick (of the same brand, of course). To find out the mass of a brick, it is convenient to create an equation with one unknown, let’s go back to the scales on one bowl, 1 kg and half, how to express it mathematically? Simple: 1+ 0.5x 1 is our kilogram which we know by convention, 0.5 x is half a brick, 0.5 is half, and we expressed the brick itself as X since its mass needs to be determined, therefore this is our unknown unknown . Since we have half of the unknown, it is expressed as 0.5 or 1/2. Next 1+0.5x=x we solve: 1=x-0.5x
1=0.5x
x=1/0.5
x=2
Answer: 2 kilograms.

The weight of a brick depends on the material from which it is made, its purpose, size and shape. The main characteristics of this building material include size, water absorption, frost resistance, thermal conductivity and, of course, weight.

However, this does not mean that the heavier the material, the stronger or more durable it is. Bricks are produced by them different types raw materials and different ways. Firing is carried out at certain temperatures. The properties of the material that correspond to its purpose are considered paramount, and only for so goes such an auxiliary characteristic as mass.

Weight of 1 red solid brick.

The standard option is red brick with dimensions 250x120x65 mm and weighing 4.3 kg. The weight of a large-format wall block can reach 24 kg, depending on the size of the brick - height, length and width.

The product can be divided into types:

• Based on the material, bricks are divided into two types: ceramic (red) and silicate.
• According to their purpose, bricks are divided into working bricks, facing bricks, clinker bricks and fireclay bricks.
• There are different sizes: single, one-and-a-half and double.
• Shape: solid or hollow (slotted).

Calculation table for the weight of 1 brick of all types.

In the weight table presented below you can find out the weight of building bricks both by piece and by m3, according to GOST standards.

In the table above you can find out the weight of m3 of brick, as well as the piece weight. All data is taken from GOST.

Weight of a solid brick.

Should be considered plump this material, which is made from refractory clay and has a minimum of voids inside. In percentage equivalent, this is 10 - 15% of the volume of bricks. The presence of voids makes the weight of such clinker greater than that of hollow clinker. This determines the targeted use of this stone.

Types of solid bricks.

• Ceramic. This type of production is made from clay or several types of clay. After the drying and firing procedure, the brick is porous and light; the presence of voids in it is not acceptable.
• Silicate. This material is made from a mixture of quicklime and sand. The output is a product that perfectly insulates sound in the room and has low thermal conductivity. Sand-lime brick has poor moisture resistance, so it is used for interior work.
• Hyper-pressed. Pressed bricks are produced from a mixture of quicklime, cement and a special dye. After briquetting, the shape is perfectly flat, which implies the use of the resulting material in construction for cladding surfaces.

To find out how much 1 solid brick weighs, you need to look at the table above. It indicates piece and m3 weight.
