Weight differences for frame sizes

Hello,
An interest question more than anything else.
How does the weight of frames vary with size (thinking some figures rather than bigger equals heavier).
My bike is a 62cmframe as the bike fitting suggested that size.
Thanks

It depends totally on the frame material - steel/aluminium/carbon/ti/mix - and the quality of that material - 4130/501/531/635/735 etc. etc. and the way the frame members are formed - plain gauge, butted, number of butts. Oh and the geometry - compact or not, slloping or level top tube. And so it goes. All the foregoing will influence the volume of material used in the fame, and hence it's weight.
No simple answer - other than (usually) bigger = heavier
