Oh, dude, the weight of an empty tin can is like the weight of your hopes and dreams - it varies. It depends on the size and thickness of the can, but on average, it's around 14 grams. So, you know, if you're ever in a pinch and need to impress someone with your knowledge of tin cans, now you're prepared.
Well, honey, the weight of an empty tin can can vary depending on the size and thickness of the metal used. On average, a small tin can might weigh around 15-20 grams, while a larger one could tip the scales at 50-60 grams. But hey, if you're really curious, just grab a scale and weigh the darn thing yourself!
Cans seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. I did an experiment before my last run to the recycling center because I wanted to know if it was better to get the can/bottle deposit back (in California we call it "CRV") of $0.05 or $0.10 per can/bottle, or if I was better off recycling per pound.
I used an Ohaus triple beam scale and weighed 25 each of various DRY 12oz cans and bottles and 24oz cans and bottles. The data below is the average of the 25 pieces weighed. The cans have definitely gotten thinner. It takes more cans to make up a pound now! You'll need 32.5.
unit (1 ea)
Grams / Ounces / Pounds / Units / Per Lb
12 oz can - 13.95 / 0.49207 / 0.03075 / 32.516
24 oz can - 25.55 / 0.90125 / 0.05633 / 17.753
12 oz bottle - 183.95 / 6.48865/ 0.40554 / 2.466
24 oz bottle - 342.50 / 12.08133 / 0.75508 / 1.324
You can compare the "units per pound" to determine if the CRV or recycle rate is a better value in your area.
If it takes 28 empty aluminum cans to make 1 pound, then there are 16 oz / 28 cans, or 0.57 ounces per can.
The weight of an empty tin can can vary based on its size and thickness. On average, a small tin can might weigh around 15-20 grams, while a larger can could weigh 50 grams or more.
The empty weight of a number 10 tin can, such as those use to hold tomato sauce is 10-12 ounces. A number 5 can, which is the standard soup can, is 5-6 ounces.
I'd round it to about 4.5 grams, but I think it's closer to 4.2 grams.
