How to Calculate Weight of Pumpkin
To find your pumpkin’s weight, measure the widest circumference using a tape measure. Next, measure the height from base to where the stem begins. Use these measurements with the density factor based on pumpkin shape. Round pumpkins use a higher density factor than tall or oval shapes due to their fuller form.
- Inputs: Pumpkin size = 36 inches around, Height = 12 inches
- Calculations: (36 × 12) × 0.0467 = 20.2
- Result: 20 pounds estimated weight
Pumpkin Weight Formula
Volume = (4/3) π r1² * r2
Weight (kg) = (Circumference² × Height) / 60000 (for centimeters)
Pumpkin Weight = (Circumference × Height × Shape Factor)
Shape Factors:
Round = 0.0467
Oval = 0.0432
Tall = 0.0382
Note: Results in pounds when using inches for measurements
