Area Coverage

Total area: 0.50 m^2. Glass weight is roughly 2.5 kg per m^2 for every 1 mm of thickness.

Handling Safety

At 12.50 kg, use suction cups and gloves.

Type

Standard float glass density is used here. Lead glass would be heavier (~3.1 g/cm^3), while borosilicate is slightly lighter (~2.23 g/cm^3).

How to Use

Step-by-step instructions
  1. 1Select the shape (Rectangular or Round).
  2. 2Enter the dimensions (in millimeters).
  3. 3Enter the thickness (in millimeters).
  4. 4The calculator will estimate the weight.

Weight Formula

Density of glass is about 2.5 g/cm^3 (2500 kg/m^3).
Weight = Volume x Density

Variables:

VolumeArea x Thickness
Density2.5 g/cm^3

Example

Glass Table Top

Inputs:

Shape:Rectangular
Width:1000 mm
Height:500 mm
Thickness:10 mm

Steps:

  1. 1.Volume = 1000 x 500 x 10 = 5,000,000 mm^3
  2. 2.Weight = 5,000,000 * 0.0025 = 12,500 g
  3. 3.Weight = 12.5 kg
Result:
12.5 kg

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this apply to tempered glass?

Yes, tempering does not significantly change the density of the glass.
