I looked at some sites* online and found a full drum of crushed fluorescent bulbs can weigh over 500 pounds. I talked to someone who deals with these drums in great quantity and he said each drum filled with crushed fluorescent glass was 450 pounds. So I will tell you, it's safe to say one full drum could way above 450 pounds so be prepared if you need to move one of these things around.

You would need to know (i) the density of the rock and (ii) how tightly packed it is.

So maybe 1.5~3 times the same amount of water.

Water would be 55 x 8.3 pounds.

How much does a one inch thick insulated glass unit weigh?

It depends on what glass is used to make the insulated window. Most often 1/16ths" to 1/4" glass is used, sometimes asymmetrically. The spacer and air space weight is negligible. The difference between tempered, colored, low e and clear glass is also negligible. If 1/16" glass (called single strength - 1/8th inch is double strength) is used then the window will weigh .85375 per square foot (height times width) times two (each side). Or to make it easier just use the total size together, i.e., 1/16th glass plus 1/16th glass on each side is 1/8" thick overall or 1/4" plus 1/4" is 1/2" overall. Glass weights: 1" = 13.5 lb/sq', 1/2" = 6.75 lb/sq', 3/8" = 5.063 lb/sq', 1/4" = 3.375 lb/sq', 1/8" = 1.6875 lb/sq', 1/16" = .85375 lb/sq'. A one foot square insulated window made with 1/4" glass each side will weigh about 6.75pounds.


What do you use to measure a glass of water?

There are many instruments used. And it all comes down to what you want the water for. For a general estimate, a beaker can be used for larger quantities of water, but the measurements can be off. A graduated cylinder is great for measuring accurately, but generally doesn't hold as much water. Extremely accurate devices include a pipet (like a big eyedropper) or a buret. But these generally hold very very small amounts of water. If you don't know what these devices look like, you can simply Google them.


How much does a 55 gallon drum weigh?

Approximately 44 pounds. Closer estimates for steel drums are; 20 pounds for close top drums typically used for liquids and 23 pounds for open top used with a locking ring. Based upon actual containers that we use, a more realistic estimate would be from 32 to 36 pounds depending on open or closed type drum.

How much does crushed glass weigh per cubic foot?

It depends on how big the originial un-crushed rock was. If you specify a weight for the original rock then maybe a formula can be devised for this question. However, anything that is solid and then broken into smaller particles will weigh less because some of the particles disappear from the area where you crushed the original form (they may become too small to measure so the weight decreases cosiderably and is more spread out ).

How does the density of a crushed metal can compare to the density of the metal can before it was crushed?

The crushed can will have a density that is quite a bit higher than the density of the can before it was crushed. Imagine a box of empty aluminum beverage cans. It won't weigh much. If those same cans are crushed, they will weigh the same, but take up a lot less space. The density of the cans can be increased by crushing them. The cans might be said to have a low bulk density before being crushed.
