What is Water Weight Per Gallon?

Water weight per gallon refers to the weight of water for a given volume, usually measured in pounds per gallon. This measurement is commonly used in various industries, including water treatment, transportation, and storage, to determine the total weight of water based on its volume. Typically, at room temperature, one gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the water weight:

\[ \text{WW} = 5 \times 8.34 = 41.70 \text{ pounds} \]

This means that 5 gallons of water would weigh approximately 41.70 pounds.
