Aerogel Weight Calculator:
Enter the values of length of the sheet, L(cm), width of the sheet, W(cm) and thickness of the sheet, T(cm) to determine the value of aerogel weight, W(g).
Aerogel Weight Formula:
Aerogel is an advanced material known for its extremely low density and remarkable insulating properties. It is often used in applications requiring lightweight materials with high thermal insulation, such as in aerospace and advanced engineering.
Aerogels are created by removing the liquid component from a gel, resulting in a solid material with a porous structure.
This porous nature results in aerogels being much lighter than conventional materials, with densities ranging from 0.001 to 0.5 g/cm3.
Aerogels are characterized by their low thermal conductivity, high surface area, and impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for applications that require minimal weight and maximal insulation.
The weight of an aerogel can be calculated using its dimensions and density.
Aerogel weight, W(g) in grams is calculated by the product of length of the sheet, L(cm) in centimetres, width of the sheet, W(cm) in centimetres, thickness of the sheet, T(cm) in centimetres and density of aerogel material, d(g/cm3) in grams per cubic centimetres.
Aerogel weight, W(g) = L(cm) * W(cm) * T(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = Aerogel weight in grams, g.
L(cm) = length in centimetres, cm.
W(cm) = width in centimetres, cm.
T(cm) = thickness of the sheet, cm.
d(g/cm3) = density of acrylic material, g/cm3.
Aerogel Weight Calculation:
- An aerogel has a length of 15 cm, a width of 10 cm, a thickness of 2 cm, and a density of 0.03 g/cm³. Calculate the weight of the aerogel.
Given: L(cm) = 15cm, W(cm) = 10cm, T(cm) = 2cm, d(g/cm3) = 0.03g/cm3.
Acrylic flat sheet weight, W(g) = L(cm) * W(cm) * T(cm) * d(g/cm3)
W(g) = 15 * 10 * 2 * 0.03
W(g) = 9g.
- An aerogel has a weight of 12 grams, a length of 10 cm, a width of 8 cm, and a density of 0.03 g/cm³. Calculate the height (thickness) of the aerogel.
Given: L(cm) = 10cm, W(cm) = 8cm, W(g) = 12g, d(g/cm3) = 0.03g/cm3.
Acrylic flat sheet weight, W(g) = L(cm) * W(cm) * T(cm) * d(g/cm3)
T(cm) = W(g) / L(cm) * W(cm) * d(g/cm3)
T(cm) = 12 / 10 * 8 * 0.03
T(cm) = 5cm.
