The Glulam Weight Calculator helps calculate the weight of glulam beams based on their dimensions or the cumulative weight of multiple beams. For individual beams, use the Basic Calculator by entering the Glulam Length (ft), Width (ft), and Thickness (ft), leaving Glulam Weight (lbs) blank to auto-calculate it, or leave any other field blank to calculate that dimension.
For the total weight of multiple beams, switch to the Advanced Calculator and input values for Total Length of Multiple Glulams (ft), Average Width (ft), Average Thickness (ft), and Number of Glulams. The Total Weight of Glulams (lbs) will display automatically. Click Calculate to see results or Reset to clear all fields.
Input Field Purpose
| Input Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Glulam Length (ft) | Enter the length of the glulam to calculate its weight. |
| Width (ft) | Specify the width of the glulam beam. |
| Thickness (ft) | Input the thickness of the glulam beam. |
| Glulam Weight (lbs) | Displays the calculated weight for the glulam. Leave blank to calculate automatically. |
| Total Length of Multiple Glulams (ft) | Enter the combined length for multiple glulams. |
| Average Width (ft) | Input the average width of the glulam beams. |
| Average Thickness (ft) | Enter the average thickness of the glulam beams. |
| Number of Glulams | Specify the number of glulams in the calculation. |
| Total Weight of Glulams (lbs) | Displays the total calculated weight for multiple glulams. |
Example Calculations
Example 1 – Basic Calculation
| Step | Calculation Process |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Enter Glulam Length (ft) as 20, Width (ft) as 1.5, and Thickness (ft) as 0.5. |
| Step 2 | Leave Glulam Weight (lbs) blank. |
| Result | The calculator displays the Glulam Weight (lbs) based on the entered dimensions. |
Example 2 – Advanced Calculation
| Step | Calculation Process |
|---|---|
| Step 1 | Enter Total Length of Multiple Glulams (ft) as 100, Average Width (ft) as 1.5, Average Thickness (ft) as 0.5. |
| Step 2 | Enter Number of Glulams as 10. |
| Result | The calculator shows the Total Weight of Glulams (lbs) for the specified quantity and dimensions. |
