Calculate ABS plastic weight from dimensions for sheets, rods, round or square tubes, angles, T-bars and C-channels, using a typical 1.04 g/cm³ density.

Optional settings
Blank uses 1.04 g/cm³. Enter your grade’s measured density for a closer estimate.

ABS Weight Formulas

The following formulas are used to calculate the weight of ABS in different shapes.

ABS Flat Sheet Weight Formula = L * W * T * d

ABS Round Bar Weight Formula = pi * D2/4 * L * d

ABS Round Hollow Tube Weight Formula = pi * (R2-r2) * L * d

Variables used in these equations: 

  • L is the length
  • W is the width
  • d is the density
  • D is the diameter
  • T is the thickness
  • R is the outer radius
  • r is the inner radius

The calculator converts each dimension to meters and density to kg/m³ internally. Dimensions accept inches, feet, millimeters, centimeters, or meters. Optional density accepts lb/in³, g/cm³, or kg/m³; blank uses an approximate 1.04 g/cm³. Mass results accept lb, kg, g, or oz. All equations use consistent units.

What is the density of ABS?


A reference density for standard ABS is approximately 1.04 g/cm³ (1040 kg/m³), as listed for Ensinger TECARAN ABS grey. Density varies by grade and additives; use your supplier’s value when available.
