Glass Analysis
Material properties
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
- 1Select the shape (Rectangular or Round).
- 2Enter the dimensions (in millimeters).
- 3Enter the thickness (in millimeters).
- 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 DensityVariables:

Inputs:
Shape:Rectangular
Width:1000 mm
Height:500 mm
Thickness:10 mm
Steps:
- 1.Volume = 1000 x 500 x 10 = 5,000,000 mm^3
- 2.Weight = 5,000,000 * 0.0025 = 12,500 g
- 3.Weight = 12.5 kg
Result:
12.5 kg
