Enter the total volume of propane (gallons) into the Propane Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Propane Weight. 

Propane Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Propane Weight.

PRW = V * 4.24

Variables:

  • PRW is the Propane Weight (lbs)
  • V is the total volume of propane (gallons) 

How to Calculate Propane Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Propane Weight.


  1. First, determine the total volume of propane (gallons). 
  2. Next, gather the formula from above = PRW = V * 4.24.
  3. Finally, calculate the Propane Weight.
  4. 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.

total volume of propane (gallons) = 30

PRW = V * 4.24 = ?
