How much does a gallon of Sheetrock compound weigh?

Standard drywall weighs about 3.4 lbs per sq ft per inch thickness. Water resistant drywall (greenboard) weighs about 3.9 lbs. per sq. ft. per inch thickness. Firecode C drywall weighs about 4.2 lbs. per sq. ft. per inch thickness. These are approximations, as the ratio of core vs. covering varies for different thicknesses, thereby varying the exact weights. So, 1/2" thick standard drywall weighs 3.4 x 0.5, or 1.7 lbs per sq. ft. 4' x 8' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 32 s.f. = 54 lbs. 4' x 10' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 40 s.f. = 68 lbs. 4' x 12' x 1/2" thick sheet weighs 1.7 x 48 s.f. = 82 lbs. 5/8" thick standard drywall weighs 3.4 x 0.625 = 2.2 lbs per sq. ft. 4' x 8' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 70 lbs. 4' x 10' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 88 lbs. 4' x 12' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 105 lbs. Previous Answer: A 4'x8'x 1/2" sheet weighs 82 lbs A 4'x12'x1/2" weighs over a 100lbs 4x8x12 5/8 is almost 150 lbs 54x12x5/8 will blow your milker if you aren't in shape

.093 is equal to how many inches?

That depends what there are 0.093 of. How do you figure? A half inch thick slice of bread or plywood is still a half inch thick! 0.093 is 3/32 of an inch which is the typical thickness for clear plastic panels used for hobbies or do it yourself storm window replacement at Home Depot for example... I think you are confusing quantity vs depth, distance or thickness. Think 3 dimensions here... For example 11W" X 14L" X 0.093 or 3/32" thick! :-)
