Stone Analysis
Example Calculation
Granite Countertop Example
Material: Granite (density: 2630 kg/m³)
Shape: Rectangular slab
Dimensions: 50 inches × 20 inches × 2 inches
Converted: 1.27 m × 0.508 m × 0.0508 m
Calculation Steps
1. Volume = L × W × H = 1.27 × 0.508 × 0.0508 = 0.0328 m³
2. Weight = Volume × Density = 0.0328 × 2630 = 86.3 kg
3. Weight in pounds = 86.3 × 2.205 = 190.3 lbs
Result: The granite countertop weighs approximately 86.3 kg (190.3 lbs)

Understanding Stone Weight Calculations
Why Calculate Stone Weight?
Stone weight calculations are crucial for construction projects, transportation planning, structural engineering, and cost estimation. Accurate weight calculations ensure safe handling, proper equipment selection, and structural integrity.
Key Applications
- •Structural load analysis and foundation design
- •Transportation planning and logistics
- •Material procurement and cost estimation
- •Equipment selection for handling and installation
Basic Formulas
Weight = Volume × Density
W = V × ρ
- W: Weight of stone (kg)
- V: Volume of stone (m³)
- ρ: Density of stone type (kg/m³)
Volume Formulas
Rectangular: L × W × H
Circular: π × r² × thickness
