    How many common red house bricks does it take to weigh in at exactly one ton? Please specifiy with or without holes.

    Question #108059. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Aug 16 09 7:00 PM)

    		There is a whole range of correct answers, as there is variation in the size of bricks and quality of the clay from which they are made.

    The table on this page shows the weight of 1000 bricks of various types/sizes in Cwt (20 cwt = 1 ton.)

    Ignoring the smaller, lighter clinker bricks, we find 1000 bricks weighing between 2,5 and 4.5 ton.
