Material density

 

Board library field for the solidity of a material

 

This field is used to store the density of a material in either metric tons per m3 or pounds per ft3 depending on the current measurement mode.

 

The range of values is:-

Metric measurement mode: 0.000 - 99.999 tons per m3 (1 ton = 1000Kg)

Inches measurement modes: 0.000 - 99.999 pounds per ft3

Weight is calculated as:

 

Area (board or part) x material thickness x quantity x material density
