This document provides instructions for calculating the weight of plastic sheets based on their material, dimensions, and specific gravity. It lists common plastic materials along with their typical specific gravities and conversion factors. To calculate sheet weight in pounds, multiply the length by the width by the thickness and divide by the listed factor for that material. Alternatively, multiply the specific gravity by 5.2 and the thickness in inches to get the weight in pounds per square foot.
