This document provides a formula and example calculation for determining the yield of a cement slurry in gallons or cubic feet per sack given the density in pounds per gallon. For a density of 16.5 lb/gal, the example calculation solves for X gallons of water required per sack, which is 4.25 gal/sx. Adding this to the absolute volume of cement per sack of 3.59 gal gives a total slurry yield of 7.84 gal/sx or 1.05 cubic feet per sack.
