I always use the density of steel in in³ . and the number for mild steel which I think is what you are asking is .283 Lb/in³

Here's a software program to calculate different metals in different shapes etc..

Here's a calculator online...

Use this simple formula:

Weight of 1 m x 1 m plate = Thickness in mm x 7.85

correction to the previous formula:

Weight (in kgs) of MS plate of 1 m x 1 m = Thickness in mm x 7.85

Dear Sender

if you want to weight of the MS plate, First calculate area of the plate, take diameter then make squire of it then multioply it by pei 22/7. then multiply area with thickness of the plate so that u can get volum of the plate. then according to equation m = vd now multiply it with density of MS that is around 7.86 g/cm cube . Thus by u can get weight of solid plate if u need weight of hollow plate then right here again thanks

My dear,

The calculation is very simple. Only see the following equation to calculate the weight :

Weight of plate in Kg = Volume of plate in m³ x Metal density in kg/m³

= [(Plate length in m) x (Plate width in m) x (Plate thickness in m)]x (Metal density in Kg/m³)

Example : for ms plate 2 m length x 2 m width x 5 mm thickness, density of ms plate is 7850 Kg/m³

Weight = (2 m) x (2 m) x (5 mm = 0.005 m) x (7850 Kg/m³)

= (0.02 m³) x (7850 Kg/m³)

= 157 Kg

[Legend : m = meter, m³ = cubic meter, mm = millimeter & Kg = Kilogram]

With my best regards,,,

it's very simple, thanking you

thank you

Mr.Galala,

I am a trader in mumbai,India with a requirement of 50,000tonn Imported Unused MS Plates that can be used for making chemical tanks & ship building purposes

Can u suggesst where its best to import goods from at a good price

length = 1000 mm Width = 30 mm Thick = 3 mm What is the weight for this specification

7.065 kg

Its very easy thank you

hai

thanks its simple to understand..............

ms chequired plate unit weight

Hi

Weight of Plate (MS) in grams = Length(mm) X Width(mm) X Thickness(mm) X Density (7.85 gm/mm for MS)

Hi amitnaqpal

Density of mild steel = 7850 Kg/m³

=7850 x 1000 gram / (1000 mm)³

= 7.85 x10⁶ gram / (10⁹ mm³)

= 7.85x10^-3 gram/mm³ (not 7.85 gram/mm)

length 250mm

width 150mm

thickness 12mm

so i calculate ms plate in kg

weight =250x150x12x7.856/10000000=3.5352 kg/m2

The formule is as under

V = L X B X T In inches

Weight in Lbs = V X 0.283

Weight in Kgs = weight in pounds / 2.20

plz give me a formula forms plate in mm size

Sir

I want to know about ms plates weight counting formula.

Thanking You

Riyaz

0.375*0.15*0.012

thickness of plate X 7.85 X width X Length = total weight

Weight of a metal sheet:

length*breadth*height*Density of a particular metal

where ,
length*breadth*height] is a volume.

For example,
let us calculate weight for a 1 m by 1 meter by 10 mm thick plate of aluminium 5052:

Density of a Aluminium 5052 =2.68 gram/cm^3

2.88 gram/cm^3=2680 kilogram/m^3

#weight=1*1*10/1000*2680
#Weight=26.8 kilogram
#Weight=59.08 pounds.
[1 pound=0.4536 kilogram

how to calculate weight for checker plate ??

Thanks in advance

Hi Pl see the below Example it may help you...

Weight Calculation: Extra weight of chequers length (m) x width (m) x 2.1 = kg/plate
Total weight: length (m) x width (m) x thickness (mm) x 7.85 + extra weight = kg/plate
Eg:
2400 x 1220 x 6mm Chequer Plate
Extra weight: 2.4 x 1.22 x 2.1 = 6.15 kg/plate
Total weight: 2.4 x 1.22 x 6 x 7.85 + 6.15 = 144.06 kg/plate
