How do you calculate the weight of hardwood plywood?

Answer 1

First You have to find out Sq. Mtr of the total plywood with help of below given table
8 Ft = 2.44 Mtr
7Ft = 1.22 Mtr
6Ft = 1.84 Mtr
4Ft = 1.22 Mtr
3Ft = 0.92 Mtr
2.5 Ft = 0.76 Mtr

after that divide the thickness by 4

Then Multiply Total Square Mtr by the result will give you Notional Area

Then Multiply the Notional Area by 3 = Weight In Kg.

Like Wise Given Below

Suppose we try to find out the weight of 12 MM HARDWOOD PLYWOOD 8X4. It'll be like

Height Width Sq. Mtr
2.44 X 1.22 = 2.9768

Sq. Mtr Thickness Constant Notional Area
2.9768 X (12 / 4) = 8.9304

Notional Area Constant Weight
8.9304 X 3 = 26.791 Kg

Answer 2

To calculate the weight of hardwood plywood, you need to know the density of the specific type of hardwood plywood you're using. The weight is typically calculated by multiplying the volume of the plywood (in cubic feet) by the density of the wood (in pounds per cubic foot). You can find the density of the specific type of hardwood plywood from the manufacturer's specifications or by using a reference guide.
