Formula

To calculate the weight of a glass piece, use the formula:

Weight = Volume × Density

where:

  • Volume is calculated based on the dimensions of the glass (Length × Width × Thickness) for rectangular shapes, and similarly for other shapes.
  • Density varies by glass type (see table below).

Explanation

What is Glass?

Glass is an amorphous solid often composed of silicon dioxide and other compounds, resulting in a hard, transparent material. It has a range of uses in construction, manufacturing, and design. Different types of glass vary in density and properties.

How to Use Our Glass Weight Calculator

Select the type of glass and its shape, then enter the required dimensions. Choose the unit of measurement for each dimension. The calculator will then compute the volume and, using the selected glass type’s density, will output the total weight.

How to Calculate Glass Weight Using the Density of Glass

Glass weight can be calculated by multiplying its volume by its density. Each type of glass has a unique density, which directly influences its weight.
