Volume and Weight Formulas:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the volume and weight of an object based on its dimensions in millimeters and material density.
Purpose: It helps engineers, designers, and manufacturers quickly determine material requirements from millimeter measurements.
The calculator uses the formulas:
Where:
Explanation: First calculates volume from dimensions, then multiplies by density to get weight.
Details: Accurate calculations are essential for material estimation, structural analysis, shipping costs, and inventory management.
Tips: Enter all dimensions in mm and density in kg/mm³ (default 0.00000785 kg/mm³ for steel). All values must be > 0.
Q1: Why use mm instead of meters?
A: Many engineering drawings and manufacturing specs use millimeters for precision.
Q2: How do I convert density from kg/m³ to kg/mm³?
A: Divide kg/m³ value by 1,000,000,000 (10^9) since 1 m³ = 1,000,000,000 mm³.
Q3: What's the default density value?
A: Default is 0.00000785 kg/mm³ (steel density). Change it for other materials.
Q4: Can I calculate weight for irregular shapes?
A: This calculator is for rectangular prisms only. For complex shapes, use specialized tools.
Q5: How accurate are the results?
A: Results are mathematically precise but depend on accurate input values and material density.
