How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Panel Width and Height in mm and the Glass Thickness in mm.
- Select the Glass Type: soda-lime float, borosilicate, lead crystal, tempered, or low-iron.
- Enter Number of Panels and Waste Allowance percentage for cutting losses.
- Review Weight Per Panel in kg and lbs and Weight Per Square Meter.
- Check Total Weight including waste allowance for structural load calculations and freight planning.
How the result changes with Panel width (mm)
| Panel width (mm) | Weight per panel (kg) |
|---|---|
| 1,001 | 22.52 |
| 3,501 | 78.77 |
| 6,500 | 146.25 |
| 9,000 | 202.5 |
What each input means
- Panel width (mm)
- Width of the glass panel in millimeters.
- Panel height (mm)
- Height of the glass panel in millimeters.
- Thickness (mm)
- Glass thickness. Common: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 19 mm.
- Glass type
- 0 = Soda-lime float, 1 = Borosilicate, 2 = Lead crystal, 3 = Tempered, 4 = Low-iron.
- Number of panels
- How many identical panels.
- Waste allowance (%)
- Cutting waste percentage to add to total weight.
What each result means
- Weight per panel (kg)
- Weight of one glass panel in kilograms.
- Weight per panel (lbs)
- Weight of one glass panel in pounds.
- Panel area (m²)
- Area of one glass panel in square meters.
- Panel area (ft²)
- Area of one glass panel in square feet.
- Weight per m² (kg)
- Glass weight per square meter at this thickness.
- Total weight (kg)
- Combined weight of all panels.
- Total weight (lbs)
- Combined weight of all panels in pounds.
- Total with waste (kg)
- Total weight including cutting waste allowance.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersPanel width (mm) = 1000, Panel height (mm) = 1500, Thickness (mm) = 6, Glass type = 0 = 6 input(s) provided
- Calculate Weight per panelWeight per panel = volumeM3 * density22.5 = 22.5
- Calculate Weight per panelWeight per panel = weightPerPanelKg * 2.2046249.6 = 49.6
- Calculate Panel areaPanel area = widthM * heightM1.5 = 1.5
