When purchasing rubber sheet, we need to know the weight so that we can calculate how much we need to pay based on the price. How do we calculate the weight of rubber sheet?
The weight of rubber sheet (kg) = length (m) × width (m) × thickness (mm) × density (g/cm3). The density in the formula is a physical property of the rubber sheet material, which can usually be obtained from the material data sheet provided by the manufacturer, with units of g/cm3.
It is important to note that all parameters in the formula must be in the same units, otherwise the calculated weight will be inaccurate. Also, the above calculation formula is applicable to uniform rubber sheet materials. If the material density is uneven or the material shape is irregular, the weight needs to be calculated based on the actual situation.
The density of rubber sheet is usually between 1.2 and 1.8 g/cm3 (g/cm3).
This range may vary depending on factors such as the type of rubber sheet, material, manufacturing process, and hardness requirements. For example, the density of silicone rubber sheet is generally between 1.2 and 1.4 g/cm3, while the density of fluorine rubber sheet may be between 2.0 and 2.8 g/cm3. The density of natural rubber sheet is usually between 1.1 and 1.3 g/cm3, but there may be some variations for special specifications.
