Generator Guide

To determine the WATTAGE of generator you will need for your particular job, multiply the AMPS your tool will use by the VOLTAGE it requires.

For example:

15 AMPS X 120 VOLTS = 1800 WATTS

It is always a good idea to have more power than your tool needs so you would want to use at least a 2500 watt generator.

If you would like to determine the total power output in AMPS a particular generator will produce, divide the total WATTAGE of the generator by the VOLTAGE (120 or 240) you will be using.

For example:

5600 WATTS divided by 120 VOLTS = 46.66 AMPS

Concrete Calculator

The Concrete Calculators help you to estimate the required concrete volume for a pour or placement, the volume of concrete needed to fill a block, and the volume of concrete needed in a column.

To use the Concrete Volume Calculator, simply enter the width, length, and thickness of your pour, click on whether you are measuring the thickness in feet or inches, then click on the Calculate button. The calculator will estimate the number of cubic yards of concrete that will be required.

To use the Concrete Column Calculator, simply enter the height and diameter of the column, and click on the Calculate button. The calculator will display the number of cubic yards required.

To use the Block Wall Calculator, simply enter the height and length of the wall, click on whether you are filling an 8-inch or 12-inch wall, then click on the Calculate button. The calculator will estimate the number of cubic yards that will be required. Note that this is an estimate. There is significant variation in fill space among different blocks. This calculator assumes the use of double open-ended bond beam blocks.
