Formulas Used

Imperial Formula

$$\text{Weight} = L \times W \times T \times 0.216$$

Where:

• L is the length in inches
• W is the width in inches
• T is the thickness in inches
• Weight is in pounds (lbs)

Metric Formula

$$\text{Weight} = \frac{L \times W \times T \times \rho}{1000}$$

Where:

• L is the length in cm
• W is the width in cm
• T is the thickness in cm
• rho (standard ceramic density) is 2.34 g/cm³
• Weight is in kilograms (kg)

Example Calculation

Imperial Example

For a tile with dimensions 12 in x 8 in x 1.5 in:

$$\text{Weight} = 12 \times 8 \times 1.5 \times 0.216 = 31.10 \text{ lbs}$$

Metric Example

For a tile with dimensions 30 cm x 20 cm x 3.8 cm:

$$\text{Weight} = \frac{30 \times 20 \times 3.8 \times 2.34}{1000} = 5.33 \text{ kg}$$

Common Applications

• Construction Planning: Estimate material weights for structural load calculations
• Shipping Estimates: Calculate shipping costs based on accurate weight
• Installation Planning: Determine if additional support is needed
• Material Ordering: Plan for proper handling equipment

Ceramic Tile Types

Different ceramic types have varying densities:

This calculator uses standard ceramic density (2.34 g/cm³) for metric calculations.
