Can you please tell me how much weight a 18mm thick peice of Melamine Faced Chipboard can take in kg, the piece of wood will be 35 cm long by 35 cm wide?

Answer 1

The density shall be 740 kg/m^3

as given at the source http://rechdrev.by/en/products/plate-materials/laminirovannaia-dsp

Density = Mass / Volume

the volume is 18 mm * 35 cm * 35 cm =

1.8 cm * 35 cm * 35 cm =

2205 cm ^3

1 cubic meter = 100*100*100 cm^3 = 1000000 cm^3

So the volume is 2205 / 1000000 =0.002205 m^3

740 kg/,^3 = mass/0.002205 m^3

740 kg/m^3 * 0.002205 m^3 = mass

1.6317 kg = mass
