Water Weight Calculation:
From: | To: |
The water weight calculation determines the mass of a given volume of water based on its density. This is particularly useful in engineering, construction, and various scientific applications.
The calculator uses the basic density formula:
Where:
Explanation: The density of water at standard temperature and pressure is approximately 1000 kg/m³.
Details: Knowing the weight of water is essential for structural engineering, tank design, plumbing systems, and many industrial processes where water volume needs to be converted to mass.
Tips: Enter volume in cubic meters and density in kg/m³. The default values show the calculation for 2 cubic meters of water at standard density (1000 kg/m³).
Q1: Why is water density 1000 kg/m³?
A: This is the approximate density of pure water at 4°C at standard atmospheric pressure.
Q2: Does temperature affect water density?
A: Yes, water density changes slightly with temperature, ranging from about 958 kg/m³ at 100°C to 1000 kg/m³ at 4°C.
Q3: How much does 2 cubic meters of water weigh?
A: At standard density, 2 m³ of water weighs 2000 kg (2 metric tons).
Q4: Can this calculator be used for other liquids?
A: Yes, by changing the density value, you can calculate the weight of any liquid.
Q5: What about saltwater or other solutions?
A: For saltwater or solutions, use the appropriate density (e.g., seawater is about 1025 kg/m³).
