Plastic Material Weight Calculator online

The Plastic Material Weight Calculator is a tool used to determine the mass of plastic materials based on their volume and density. It operates on a simple formula:

Formula

Weight (in grams) = Volume (in cubic centimeters, cm³) x Density (in grams per cubic centimeter, g/cm³)

• Weight: Mass of the plastic material in grams.
• Volume: Volume of the plastic material in cubic centimeters.
• Density: Density of the plastic material in grams per cubic centimeter.

The density values for various plastic materials are:

• Polyethylene (PE):
  • Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE): Density ≈ 0.92 g/cm³
  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Density ≈ 0.95 g/cm³
• Polypropylene (PP):
  • Density ≈ 0.90 g/cm³
• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC):
  • Rigid PVC: Density ≈ 1.40 g/cm³
  • Flexible PVC: Density ≈ 1.15 g/cm³
• Polystyrene (PS):
  • General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS): Density ≈ 1.04 g/cm³
  • High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS): Density ≈ 1.05 g/cm³
• Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET):
  • Density ≈ 1.38 g/cm³
• Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS):
  • Density ≈ 1.05 g/cm³
• Polycarbonate (PC):
  • Density ≈ 1.20 g/cm³
• Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF):
  • Density ≈ 1.78 g/cm³

Example of Plastic Material Weight Calculator

Suppose you have a volume of 100 cm³ of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with a density of approximately 0.95 g/cm³. Using the Plastic Material Weight Calculator's formula:

Weight = Volume × Density Weight = 100 cm³ × 0.95 g/cm³ Weight = 95 grams
