Metal Plate Weight Calculator
Metal Plate Weight Calculator estimates weight of steel, aluminum, or stainless plates. Formula: Weight = Length × Width × Thickness × Material Density.
Formula
Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Thickness(m) × Density
- Steel: 7850 kg/m³; Stainless: 7980 kg/m³; Aluminum: 2700 kg/m³; Copper: 8960 kg/m³
- Thickness must be converted to meters for calculation
- Actual weight varies with material grade and alloy composition
2m × 1m × 10mm steel
Inputs
- Length: 2 m
- Width: 1 m
- Thickness: 10 mm
- Material: steel
Volume = 2 × 1 × 0.01 = 0.02 m³; Weight = 0.02 × 7850 = 157 kg
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate plate weight?
Length × Width × Thickness(m) × Density
Why are densities different?
Each material has different atomic density; aluminum is lighter, copper is heavier than steel
