How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the width of the drywall panel in feet.
2. Enter the height of the drywall panel in feet.
3. Enter the thickness of the drywall panel in inches.
4. Click the "Calculate" button to calculate the weight of the drywall panel.
5. The weight of the drywall panel will be displayed in pounds.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the weight of drywall:

Weight = Length × Width × Thickness × Density

Where:

• Length = Height (feet) × 12 (inches per foot)
• Width = Width (feet) × 12 (inches per foot)
• Thickness = Thickness (inches)
• Density = 0.30 pounds per cubic inch (for standard drywall)

Example

If you have a drywall panel that is 4 feet wide, 8 feet high, and 1/2 inch thick:

1. Width = 4 feet × 12 inches/foot = 48 inches
2. Height = 8 feet × 12 inches/foot = 96 inches
3. Thickness = 0.5 inches
4. Weight = 48 inches × 96 inches × 0.5 inches × 0.30 pounds/cubic inch = 691.2 pounds
