This is a good start the monographs include "The Corbridge Hoard" ( important find of Lorica Segmentata) and many others of Roman sites with details of "small finds", these are what you'd be mostly looking for and include items found on the sites such as weapons, armour, tools, shoes etc etc....

Link was originally posted by John on a recent thread ;-) The ADS Archive is huge and includes a vast number of Volumes containing information on Roman "small finds" here is the main index to one part of the site containing Monographs and Journals, searching by Keyword is your best bet...

and reconstructions of segmentata:

The link I supplied earlier showing Greek stuff should also show Roman stuff in the British Museum which should include some details.... you will need to refine the search...

Often its requires a long search looking through many books and in particular Bibliography's to find publications detailing what you want to know.... so it may be better to be more specific ;-)

Even if you find a source that lists weights and dimensions, they may not be relevant. Iron increases in mass and volume as it oxidises and when it is excavated a lot of material can be removed during clean-up and restoration. The final measurements often have no relation to the measurements of the item when it was new.
