How much does laminated glass weigh?

Answer 1

The specific gravity (SG) of Plexiglas (aka: plexiglass, acrylic, or acrylic glass) is approximately 1.19, but varies slightly with temperature and molecular density.

Specific gravity can be used to calculate mass per unit-volume (i.e. grams/cubic centimeter) by multiplying the SG of the substance of interest (in this case Plexiglas) by the mass per unit-volume of pure water (which is 1.00 gram per cubic centimeter):

SGPlexiglas x 1.00 gram/cm3 = (1.19 x 1.00 gram/cm3) = 1.19 gram/cm3

Here are some common conversions for the mass per unit-volume (or "weight") of Plexiglas:

* 33.70 kg / ft3 * 74.30 lbs / ft3 * 1,190 kg / m3 * 2,620 lbs / m3

Answer 2

The weight of laminated glass varied greatly depending on the thickness of the pane, the thickness of the lamination, and the material the lamination is made from. Generally speaking, the lightest layer of lamination is a PVB interlayer with a 0.38 MM thickness, which adds about 0.40 KG to the weight. The heaviest lamination is a UV Liquid Interlayer with a 3.05 MM thickness, which adds about 3.22 kg to the weight.

Answer 3

Plastics can have densities ranging from 0.57 g/cc (Polypropylene Uitraboard Ultrastiff) to almost 3.9 g/cc (PTFE Tetron B)
