Given that area dead load calculations, there are a number of sources that

present tables of unit weights expressed in terms of weight of per unit area. 
The following are a couple that I have used in the past:

 ASCE 7-05 Tables C3-1 and C3-2.  These tables, in the commentary, is
quite extensive.  Many typical building materials are represented in the
table.  Values in both USCU and SI units are presented.  Table C3-1
expresses values in terms of force per area for materials typically
distributed uniformly.  Table C3-2 gives the densities of various
materials so that weights can be computed. 
 The AISC Steel Construction Manual, any edition.  Under the "MISC" tab
you can find a table of weights of building materials plus weights and
specific gravities for a wide variety of materials.  There is a table the
gives weights of common building materials in terms of weight per unit
area.  The table of weights and specific gravities generally express the
weight in terms of weight per volume.  With some simple calculations,
these values can be used to express weights in terms of weight per unit
surface area.
 Industry Catalogs.  Several manufactures (such as joist suppliers, truss
manufacturers, etc) have included construction material typical weight
tables in their literature to aid engineers in quickly computing the loads
needed to specify their materials.
 Structural Engineering Textbooks:  Many design texts include weight
tables in their appendices.

You will find, when you compare sources, there is not complete agreement in
the estimates that each source puts together.  This is to be expected.  As with
using any tables, you need to apply a little engineering judgment, taking into
account your actual job conditions.  When in doubt it is probably best to be
mildly conservative with your estimate.  Being too conservative may have big
ramification in structures with large dead loads.

Given the inexact nature of dead load computations, it is common to

round dead loads to integer values of no more than three significant
figures.

Linear Members

The dead load of linear members such as beam, columns and large pipes are
generally expressed in terms of weight per unit length.
For large pipes that flow full, the contents can be considered to be dead loads
because their weights and locations are very predictable.

Specific Items

Items that cannot reasonably be treated as being area or linear loads are
treated on a case by case basis.  Equipment that is attached to the building is
expressed in terms of the connection loads and are placed at the location of
the connection.  For some calculations (generally for those members
supporting but not directly attached to the item) items may be considered as
point loads that act through their center of mass.
