Formula
length × width × thickness × density
Result unit: kg

Weight = L × W × T × ρ. All dimensions converted to meters, density in kg/m³, result in kg.

Introduction

Calculate the weight of a flat steel plate from its dimensions and material density. Essential for structural steel estimating, shipping weight calculations, and material ordering.

Calculation Example

A 2000mm × 1000mm × 10mm carbon steel plate weighs 157 kg.

Inputs: length=2000, width=1000, thickness=10, density=7850
Result: 157 kg

Engineering Applications

  • Structural steel estimating
  • Shipping weight calculation
  • Material ordering
  • Load estimation

Frequently Asked Questions

What density does carbon steel use?

Carbon steel density is approximately 7850 kg/m³ (7.85 g/cm³). Stainless steel 304 is slightly higher at 7930 kg/m³.

How do I calculate weight per square meter?

Weight per m² = thickness (m) × density (kg/m³). For 10mm steel: 0.01 × 7850 = 78.5 kg/m².
