Sonotube Size Calculator

What is a Sonotube Size Calculator?

A Sonotube size calculator is a tool used to determine the appropriate diameter of a Sonotube, which is a cylindrical cardboard tube used as a concrete form for creating round concrete columns or piers.

Why is a Sonotube Size Calculator Used?

This calculator is used in construction to ensure that the Sonotube chosen is the correct size for the project, helping to minimize waste and ensure a successful concrete pour.

How to Use a Sonotube Size Calculator:

1. Input the concrete volume you need in cubic feet or cubic meters.
2. Enter the desired concrete thickness in inches or centimeters.
3. Click the "Calculate" button.
4. The calculator will provide an estimate of the required Sonotube diameter to contain the specified concrete volume at the desired thickness.

Example Calculation:

Suppose you need to pour concrete with a volume of 7 cubic feet and desire a thickness of 6 inches.

Enter 7 as the concrete volume and 6 as the concrete thickness.

Click "Calculate," and the calculator will estimate that you will need a Sonotube with a diameter of approximately 5.97 inches to contain the specified concrete volume at the desired thickness.
