Methodology
Plastic (PET) density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
PET density depends on grade and material structure.
grade: TECADUR PET natural, unfilled/unmodified stock shape
Source basis: Ensinger, TECADUR PET natural. Technical details: density. https://www.ensingerplastics.com/en-gb/shapes/polyester-tecadur-pet-natural Applicability: conditional-comparison.
Resolve grade and crystallinity before judging 1370 versus 1390 kg/m³.
Temperature not stated.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00002026 t per tbsp (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
