The document provides instructions on how to calculate the quantity of cement and sand needed for plastering based on the plaster thickness and mortar ratio. It gives an example calculation for a 12mm plaster thickness with a 1:6 mortar ratio, determining that 1 bag of cement (3.21kg) and 0.47 cubic feet of sand would be needed. It also lists some common plaster thickness used for different surfaces.

Mortar ratio = 1:6 where 1 is cement and 6 part is sand.
Plaster thickness = 12 mm = 0.012 m Cement density = 1440 kg/m3 1 m3 = 35.3147 ft3 Suggested Plaster Thickness 12 mm for internal walls or brick wall plain surface 15 mm for 4” or 9” brick wall rough surface 20 mm for two plaster layers normally utilized for external walls
Mortar Wet volume = 1 x 1 x 0.012 = 0.012 m3
Mortar Dry volume = 0.012 x 1.30 = 0.0156 m3 Mortar Dry volume (sand + cement) = 30 – 35 % greater than wet volume = wet volume x 1.30 Concrete Dry volume (aggregate + sand + cement) = wet volume x 1.54 As we know that mortar ratio = 1:6, from which 1 + 6 = 7 = sum of ratio Amount of cement in plaster = 1/7 x 0.0156 x 1440 = 3.21 kg Also in bags = 3.21/50 = 0.064 bag = approximately 1 bag Amount of sand in plaster = 6/7 x 0.0156 = 0.0133 m3 Sand quantity in cubic feet = 0.0133 x 35.3147 = 0.47 ft3
