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

What is density of laminated glass?

The density of laminated glass typically ranges from 2.47 to 2.55 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), depending on the specific configuration and materials used in its construction.


How much does a standard window weigh?

A standard window can weigh anywhere from 15 to 30 pounds, depending on its size and material (e.g., aluminum, vinyl, wood). Large windows or those with additional features like multiple panes or laminated glass may weigh more than this range.

What does laminated glass weight?

If you are in the US, then glass weighs 155lbs/ft³. If you are not in the US or you want to use metric, you will have to do a conversion. 155lbs/ft³equals approximately 1.52lbs/ft² at 1/8" thickness Polyvinyl Butyral or PVB weighs .085lbs/ft² at .015" thickness. Since laminated glass is two sheets of glass "sandwiching" a sheet pf PVB, we can calculate the weight of a square foot of laminated glass consisting of two lites of 1/8" glass plus the weight of the PVB interlayer - in this case, .015". glass + interlayer + glass = 1.52lbs + .085lbs + 1.52lbs = 3.125lbs/ft² A little bit of basic arithmetic and you can get the weight of any size or thickness desired.


Can toughened and laminated glass have waves?

The quick and short answer to this question is "yes". It's all based on how well the glass is manufactured. There is a large amount of heat used during the manufacturing process of laminated or toughened glass which temporarily weakens it. The glass is heated to a melting point for which it can be reshaped and then cooled quickly to hold the new shape. It is during this process that the laminated glass is at its' most vulnerable point and needs to be handled with precision until it has cooled. Improper alignment of the rollers which are used during the reshaping and cooling process are generally the cause of these small waves or lines in the glass. These waves and lines are not indicative of poor quality and are not considered defects in the glass. However, if the waves are so apparent that images appear overly distorted then a new replacement glass should be requested.This post was made by www.autoglasslocator.com
