Enter the volume in cubic inches and the density of the material into the calculator to determine the weight in grams. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Inches To Grams Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the weight in grams of a specific material given its dimensions in inches and its density.

W = V * D

Variables:

  • W is the weight in grams (g)
  • V is the volume in cubic inches (in^3)
  • D is the density of the material in grams per cubic inch (g/in^3)

To calculate the weight in grams, first calculate the volume of the material in cubic inches. This can be done by multiplying the length, width, and height in inches (if the material is a rectangular prism), or by using other formulas for volume depending on the shape of the material. Then, multiply the volume by the density of the material in grams per cubic inch. The result is the weight of the material in grams.

What is Inches To Grams?

Inches to grams is not a standard conversion as they are measurements of two different properties. Inches is a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems, while grams is a unit of mass in the metric system. Therefore, converting inches to grams directly is not possible without additional information such as density of a specific material. For example, if you have a piece of metal and you know its dimensions in inches and its density, you can calculate its weight in grams.

How to Calculate Inches To Grams?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Inches To Grams using the formula W = V * D.


  1. First, determine the volume in cubic inches (V).
  2. Next, determine the density of the material in grams per cubic inch (D).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = W = V * D.
  4. Finally, calculate the weight in grams (W).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

volume in cubic inches (V) = 10

density of the material in grams per cubic inch (D) = 2
