Circular Slab or Tube Concrete Calculator
A circular concrete calculator is used to calculate the volume of circular slabs and round tubes. A Circular Slab or Tube Concrete Calculator allows input of outer diameter, inner diameter, and height or length to calculate concrete volume, weight, and total bag count.
Circular concrete slabs and tubes are used in outdoor and structural projects, but the difficult task is determining how much concrete is needed for a round shape.
This Circular Slab or Tube Concrete Calculator helps you quickly estimate the exact amount of concrete.

How to Calculate Circular Slab Concrete or Tube Concrete?
To calculate concrete for a circular slab or tube, you need to enter the following parameters in the box:
- Outer diameter
- Inner diameter (for hollow tubes)
- Height or Length
- Quantity (if more than one slab or tube)
After entering your required parameters, it calculates the required volume and bags of concrete.
This calculator is helpful when using a concrete slab estimator for patios, fire pits, or small foundations. Moreover, it is used for post holes, deck footings, columns, and Home Depot concrete tubes.
Example for the Calculation of Circular Slab Concrete
A circular slab with an input outer diamter 2 meters and 0.15 centimeter length requires 0.0471 cubic meters conrete equal to 2.77 concrete bags of 80-lb.
How to Measure Tube Diameter Correctly?
To measure tube diameter correctly, follow these steps:
- Measuring Inner Diameter: Measure the tube straight from one inside edge to the other.
- Measuring outer Diameter: Measure the tube from outside edge to outside edge
Before buying concrete for round tubes, double-check the measurements properly.
Which Formula is used for the Circular Concrete Calculator?
These are the concrete volume formulas for the circular slab or tube concrete calculator:
- Solid circular slab:
Volume = π × (Outer Radius)² × Length - Hollow tube:
Volume = π × [(Outer Radius)² − (Inner Radius)²] × Height
These are just for knowledge purposes. You do not need to remember the calculation formulas to calculate concrete volume. Just enter the values in the boxes and get results.
For What Projects Is This Circular Concrete Calculator Used For?
The calculator is ideally used for the following projects:
- Circular Slab
- Round Tube
- Circular patios and pads
- Concrete pipes and tubes
- Pillars and round columns
- Fire pits and planters
- Manholes and utility structures
- Decorative and structural round concrete elements
This calculator helps homeowners and contractors with construction work.
Why is a Circular Concrete Accurate Calculation Required?
If you do not properly estimate concrete for round shapes, it causes errors.
You need accurate calculations because it helps:
- To avoid waste concrete
- To save money on materials.
- To order the correct concrete bags.
- Finish projects without delays
How many bags of Concrete are required for a Circular Slab?
To calculate the number of concrete bags for a circular slab, you must know:
- Slab or tube size
- Thickness or height
- Bag weight (60-lb or 80-lb)
You can purchase 5-10% extra for the exact volume and bag count.
Helpful Tips Before Pouring Concrete in Tubes or Circular Forms
- For clean edges, use form tubes or circular forms.
- Check the level before pouring.
- To avoid air pores, pour around the circle.
- Allow proper curing time before use.
- The inner form is centered for hollow tubes.
