Calculation
How is the weight of sheet metal calculated?
A sheet is a flat plate. Length times width times thickness gives the volume, times density the weight. Per square metre only the thickness matters.
Formula
m = L × b × s × ρ
- L = length in mm
- b = width in mm
- s = thickness in mm
- ρ = density (steel: 7.85 kg/dm³)
Example: a 2 mm steel sheet weighs about 15.7 kg per square metre (1 mm ≈ 7.85 kg/m²).
