Fire Glass Calculator – Formulas

Simple Calculator Formula

Base Calculation Components

  • Primary Formula:
    • Total Fire Glass Weight = Base Weight × Fire Pit Size Factor × Glass Complexity Factor
  • Base Weight:
    • Starting point: 10 pounds
    • Provides fundamental weight estimation baseline
  • Fire Pit Size Factors:
    • Small (up to 24 inches): 1.0 multiplier
    • Medium (24-36 inches): 1.5 multiplier
    • Large (36-48 inches): 2.0 multiplier
  • Glass Complexity Factors:
    • Simple Coverage: 1.0 multiplier
    • Average Coverage: 1.5 multiplier
    • Detailed Coverage: 2.0 multiplier

Calculation Example

Total Weight = 10 pounds × (Fire Pit Size Factor) × (Glass Complexity Factor)

Advanced Calculator Formula

Comprehensive Calculation Components

  • Primary Formula:
    • Fire Glass Weight = (Length × Width × Depth) × Base Density × Glass Type Factor × Coverage Factor × Weight Modifier
  • Fire Pit Volume Calculation:
    • Volume (cubic inches) = Length × Width × Depth
  • Base Density:
    • Standard Fire Glass Density: 0.5 pounds per cubic inch
  • Glass Type Factors:
    • Standard Reflective: 1.0 multiplier
    • Premium Reflective: 1.2 multiplier
    • Specialty Metallic: 1.5 multiplier
  • Coverage Factors:
    • Standard Coverage: 1.0 multiplier
    • Enhanced Coverage: 1.2 multiplier
    • Maximum Coverage: 1.5 multiplier
  • Weight Modifier Calculation:
    • Base Modifier: 1.0
    • Custom Color Mix: +0.1
    • Smooth Edges: +0.05
    • Special Heat Coating: +0.1

Calculation Example

Total Weight = (Length × Width × Depth) × 
               0.5 × 
               Glass Type Factor × 
               Coverage Factor × 
               (1 + Additional Modifier Factors)

Material Value Calculation

  • Material Rates per Pound:
    • USD: $5.00
    • AUD: $6.50
    • EUR: $5.75
    • GBP: $5.25
  • Total Material Value Formula:
    • Material Value = Total Weight × Regional Rate

Calculation Example

Material Value (USD) = Total Weight × $5.00
