Laminated Glass Weight Calculator
Table: Estimated Weights of Laminated Glass Panels
The density of glass is typically about 0.00289 pounds per cubic inch. For laminated glass, which often includes multiple layers of glass and an interlayer, the weight can vary depending on the total thickness of the layers.
| Width (in) | Height (in) | Thickness (mm) | Thickness (in) | Weight (lbs) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 12 | 4 | 0.157 | 0.45 |
| 12 | 12 | 6 | 0.236 | 0.68 |
| 12 | 12 | 8 | 0.315 | 0.91 |
| 24 | 24 | 4 | 0.157 | 1.80 |
| 24 | 24 | 6 | 0.236 | 2.71 |
| 24 | 24 | 8 | 0.315 | 3.62 |
| 36 | 36 | 4 | 0.157 | 4.05 |
| 36 | 36 | 6 | 0.236 | 6.08 |
| 36 | 36 | 8 | 0.315 | 8.10 |
| 48 | 48 | 4 | 0.157 | 7.21 |

Explanation of Table Columns:
- Width (in): The width of the glass panel in inches.
- Height (in): The height of the glass panel in inches.
- Thickness (mm): The total thickness of the laminated glass in millimeters.
- Thickness (in): The total thickness of the laminated glass converted to inches (1 mm = 0.0393701 inches).
- Weight (lbs): The estimated weight of the glass in pounds. This is calculated by determining the volume in cubic inches (Width x Height x Thickness in inches) and multiplying by the density of glass (0.00289 pounds per cubic inch).
This table provides a quick reference for estimating the weight of laminated glass panels, which is crucial for handling, transportation, and installation planning. The given weights are estimates based on standard glass densities and might vary slightly depending on specific glass types and the composition of the interlayer material.
