How heavy is a refractory brick?

Before we know how heavy a refractory brick is, let’s first understand how to calculate the weight of a refractory brick. The following formula is an example:
Calculation formula for refractory brick weight: m = ρv (mass = volume × density)

Calculation example of refractory brick weight: Take SK-32 refractory brick, T-3 straight standard brick as an example, calculate the weight of a single SK-32 refractory brick;

The size of T-3 straight standard brick is 230mm*114mm*65mm, and the volume density of SK-32 is 2.05g/cm3

The volume is 23*11.4*6.5=1704.3cm3,

The single weight is 1704.3*2.05=3493.8g=3.49kg

The weight of refractory bricks is closely related to the volume density of refractory bricks, so we must first know the volume density and size of refractory bricks to obtain the weight of refractory bricks.
