1. What is a Glass Weight Calculator?

Definition: A glass weight calculator estimates the weight of glass based on its shape, dimensions, and type.

Purpose: This tool helps in planning construction, glazing, or transport by calculating glass weight for structural and safety considerations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses this general formula, adjusted by shape:

\[ \text{Glass Weight (kg)} = \text{Volume (cm}^3\text{)} \times \text{Density (g/cm}^3\text{)} \div 1000 \]

Volume Formulas:

Rectangular: \( L \times W \times T \)
Square: \( S^2 \times T \)
Triangular: \( \frac{1}{2} \times B \times H \times T \)
Circular: \( \pi \times r^2 \times T \)
Semi-circular: \( \frac{\pi \times r^2 \times T}{2} \)
Elliptical: \( \pi \times a \times b \times T \)
Round Rod: \( \pi \times r^2 \times L \)

Where \( L \) = length, \( W \) = width, \( T \) = thickness, \( S \) = side, \( B \) = base, \( H \) = height, \( r \) = radius, \( a \) = semi-major axis, \( b \) = semi-minor axis. Units are converted to cm. Weight is then converted to g, ton, and lb.

3. Types of Glass

Details: Includes a range from alkali silicate (3.02 g/cm³) to zinc titania (2.53 g/cm³), covering standard, ornamental, and specialized glasses.

4. Preparing for Glass Handling

Tips: Specify glass shape, measure dimensions accurately, choose the correct glass type, and use the weight to plan support and transport.
