The Bottle Weight calculator estimates the weight of an empty bottle based on the outer dimensions, thickness and density of bottle material.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following  (see diagram):

  • (a) Outer To Radius
  • (h2) Height of Tapered Neck
  • (b) Outer Base Radius
  • (h1)  Height of Base 
  • (t) Bottle Thickness
  • (mD) Density of Bottle Material (Default: 2,579 kg/m3 for glass)

Bottle Weight (M): The calculator returns the weight / mass of the empty bottle in grams.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

                 Mean Density Lookup Function

Mean density is scientifically volume divided by mass.  There are  various unit for density adopted by cultures and industries. Common units for density included the following:

  • kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3)
  • grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3)
  • grams per liter (g/L)
  • pounds per cubic feet (lb/ft3)
  • ounces per cubic inch (oz/in3)
  • pounds per barrel (lb/bbl)
  • pounds per bushel (lb/bu)

If you want to identify a material by its density, use the Density Within Range tool.



Weight is technically the downward force that a mass exerts based on the force of gravity and the mass of the object.  On the surface of the Earth, mass and weight are often interchanged.  In some places, objects are sold by the gram (mass), and in other locations, the same objects are sold by the ounce (weight).

The Weight Calculators use the dimensions of an object and its shape to compute the objects volume.  They then apply a density associated with a material to estimate the objects weight.
