Yes there is a formula:

Weight = density * volume = density * length * width * thickness

In order to get the thickness - you need to know 2 other dimensions.

So is there any other information that you can provide regarding dimensions of this product?

By the way - the density of generic "mild steel" is 7.85 grams/cubic centimeter

Yes that is correct. 1 kg = 1000 g


As another poster noted - depending on just how critical you need your weight calculation you may want to verify the actual density of your steel.

Welcome aboard! If all else fails, the mill run data from the manufacturer might include the density, gauge, and weight per square (foot, yard, meter, etc.) for a given batch as supplied. If it has been post-mill processed, that might or not be of any use to you.

If you need too ask if 1000g = 1kg, I hope you're not designing anything on which lives or your savings depend.
