ESTIMATING DATA:

One 25 kg bag of MasterFlow 880 mixed according to directions will yield the following
consistency grouts at 20°C:
Flowable – 11.5 litres, approx.

So this states that one bag gives 11.5 litres flow able grout, when it is converted to volume it is
approximately 0.0115 cubic-metre

1 BAG (25 kg) = 11.5 litres approx. (Mortar) = 0.0115 m3.

ESTIMATION OF CEMENT REQUIRED FOR TURBINE:

1. FRONT STANDARD:

F-STD = (4X1.7X0.038) m3
= 0.0254 m3.

2. M- STANDARD:

M-STD = (4X2.060X0.195) m3
= 0.3393 m3.

LP CASING = 2(9.048X0.515X0.195) +
2(7.520X0.703X0.195)
= 3.87 m3 = 4m3 (Approx.)

4. R-STD:

R-STD = (2.4X0.725X0.195) m3
=
0.3393 m3.

E C. = 2(0.85X0.34X0.165) +
(1.48X0.45X0.23)
