Brick Weight Calculator:
Enter the values of brick length, L(cm),width, W(cm) and thickness, T(cm) to determine the value of Brick weight, W(kg).
Brick Weight Formula:
A brick is a fundamental building material used worldwide in construction for creating walls, pavements, and other masonry structures. Bricks are typically rectangular blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials, known for their strength, durability, and fire resistance.
The weight of a brick is a crucial factor in construction, as it directly affects the load-bearing capacity of structures, transportation, and handling processes. The weight of a brick depends on its dimensions (length, width, and thickness) and the density of the material it is made from.
In construction calculations, the weight of a brick can be estimated using a simplified formula that considers the brick’s length (BL), width (W), and thickness (BT), along with a constant factor that accounts for the material’s average density and voids within the brick.
Brick weight, W(kg) in kilograms is calculated by the product of brick length, L(cm) in centimetres, width, W(cm) in centimetres, thickness, T(cm) in centimetres and 0.0694.
Brick weight, W(kg) = L(cm) * W(cm) * T(cm) * 0.0694
W(kg) = brick weight in kilograms, kg.
L(cm) = length in centimetres, cm.
W(cm) = width in centimetres, cm.
T(cm) = thickness in centimetres, cm.
Brick Weight Calculation:
- A brick has dimensions of length (BL) = 20 cm, width (W) = 10 cm, and thickness (BT) = 5 cm. Calculate the weight of the brick.
Given: L(cm) = 20cm, W(cm) = 10cm, T(cm) = 5cm.
Brick weight, W(kg) = L(cm) * W(cm) * T(cm) * 0.0694
W(kg) = 20 * 10 * 5 * 0.0694
W(kg) = 69.4kg.
- A brick weighs 100 kg, with a width (W) of 12 cm and thickness (BT) of 6 cm. Determine the length of the brick.
Given: W(kg) = 100kg, W(cm) = 12cm, T(cm) = 6cm.
Brick weight, W(kg) = L(cm) * W(cm) * T(cm) * 0.0694
L(cm) = 100 / 12 * 6 * 0.0694
L(cm) = 199.52cm.
