Boulder Weight Calculator
The Boulder Weight Calculator is designed to help you estimate the weight of a boulder using either basic or advanced calculations.
By entering dimensions, density, or volume, you can quickly determine the approximate weight, which is useful for transportation and construction planning.
Basic Calculator:
- Enter any three of the following values:
- Length (ft), Width (ft), Height (ft) of the boulder.
- Density (lbs/ft³) to find the weight.
- Click Calculate to determine the missing value or Reset to clear fields.
Advanced Calculator:
- Enter:
- Volume (ft³) and Density (lbs/ft³) of the boulder.
- Shape Factor to account for different shapes (e.g., Cube, Sphere, Irregular).
- Click Calculate to see the adjusted weight.
Example Calculations
Example 1 (Basic Calculator):
| Step | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 4 ft | |
| Width | 3 ft | |
| Height | 2 ft | |
| Density | 150 lbs/ft³ | |
| Calculated Weight |
lbs |
With dimensions of 4 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft and a density of 150 lbs/ft³, the boulder’s weight is 3600 lbs.
Example 2 (Advanced Calculator):
| Step | Input | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 30 ft³ | |
| Density | 120 lbs/ft³ | |
| Shape Factor | 0.85 (Sphere) | |
| Adjusted Weight |
lbs |
Using an estimated volume of 30 ft³, a density of 120 lbs/ft³, and a shape factor of 0.85 for a spherical shape, the calculated weight is 3060 lbs.
