Weight of glass

[dialicious]

I was trying to do some research as to how much my new tank weights.
For those also interested - here's some of the condensed information from http://www.anver.com/document/vacuum lifters/glass_plate_guide.htm
Now, I'm not sure if this is standard among types of glass - but hopefully it can help someone else as a rough guide!


1/4"-----(7mm)-------3.4 lb/ sq ft (0.023lbs/inch)
1/2"-----(13mm)------6.7 lb/ sq ft (0.046lbs/inch)
3/4"-----(20mm)------10.1 lb/ sq ft (0.07lbs/inch)
1"-------(26mm)------13.5 lb/ sq ft (0.096lbs/inch)


Geeze. This means I have 1100lbs of glass in my monster tank.

glass weighs 2.5kg a square metre per millimetre. btw doubt there is a such thing as 13mm glass 12mm is 1/2" 7mm is very hard to find if they even make it and 6mm is refeered to 1/4" once again 19mm is reffered to 3/4" although ou can also get 20mm and 1" equals 25.4 milimetres so 25mm is reffered to as 1" thick.
