Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) Weight Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the weight of Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is:

\[ \text{MDF-W} = L \times W \times T \times D \]

Where:

\( \text{MDF-W} \) is the weight of the medium density fiberboard (lbs)
\( L \) is the length of the fiberboard (inches)
\( W \) is the width of the fiberboard (inches)
\( T \) is the thickness of the fiberboard (inches)
\( D \) is the density of the fiberboard (lbs/in³)

What is the Weight of MDF?

The weight of a medium-density fiberboard depends on the total volume of the piece of MDF and its density. In general, MDF has a consistent density of around 0.025 lbs/in³.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Length (L): 48 inches
Width (W): 24 inches
Thickness (T): 0.75 inches
Density (D): 0.025 lbs/in³

Using the formula to calculate the MDF Weight:

\[ \text{MDF-W} = 48 \times 24 \times 0.75 \times 0.025 = 21.6 \text{ lbs} \]

This means that the weight of the MDF for this scenario is 21.6 lbs.
