How to use this page
If the commodity you wish to model happens to not yet be listed in the table, you may need to use ordinary research methods to find the weight of the commodity, or for commodities in bulk, the density.
The tables below gather into one place several parameters for various commodities. The items in the tables include the following parameters:
- Product name
- Product form:
- Weight or density (Imperial measure)
list the weight of items (where known) or, in the case of bulk commodities, the density.
