Nylon Weight Formulas
The following formulas are used to calculate the weight of Nylon in different shapes.
Nylon Flat Sheet Weight Formula = L * W * H * d
Nylon Round Bar Weight Formula = pi * D^2/4 * L * d
Nylon Square Hollow Tube Weight Formula = [W^2-(W-2*T)^2] * L * d
Nylon Round Hollow Tube Weight Formula = pi * (R^2-r^2) * L * d
Nylon Square Angle Weight Formula = (2*W*T – T^2) * L * d
Nylon T bar Weight Formula = (W*T + (H-T)*T) * L * d
Nylon C Channel Weight Formula = (2*W*T1 + (H-2*T1)*T2) * L * d
Variables used in these equations:
- L is the length
- W is the width (outer width/side length, or leg length depending on the shape)
- H is the height
- d is the density
- D is the outer diameter
- T is the thickness
- R is the outer radius
- r is the inner radius
- T1 is the channel flange thickness
- T2 is the channel web thickness
The calculator accepts inches, millimeters, or centimeters for lengths, and lb/in³, kg/m³, or g/cm³ for density (it converts everything internally). As with any weight calculation, the density and dimensions must be in compatible units.
What is the density of Nylon?
A typical density for Nylon (for example, Nylon 6/6) is about 0.0412 lb/in³ (≈1.14 g/cm³, ≈1140 kg/m³).
