How to Use Steel Plate Weight Calulate

Calculating the Weight of a Steel Plate

To calculate the weight of a steel plate, you can follow these steps:

  1. Determine the Dimensions of the Plate:

    • Length (L): The length of the steel plate in meters (m) or millimeters (mm).
    • Width (W): The width of the steel plate in meters (m) or millimeters (mm).
    • Thickness (T): The thickness of the steel plate in meters (m) or millimeters (mm).
  2. Find the Density of Steel:

    • The density of steel is typically around 7850 kg/m³.
  3. Calculate the Volume of the Plate:

    • Volume = Length × Width × Thickness
    • Ensure all dimensions are in the same units (e.g., meters).
  4. Calculate the Weight of the Plate:

    • Weight = Volume × Density

Example Calculation:

Assume you have a steel plate with the following dimensions:

  • Length = 2 meters
  • Width = 1 meter
  •  
  • Thickness = 0.01 meters

Calculate the Volume:

  • Volume = 2 meters × 1 meter × 0.01 meters
  • Volume = 0.02 cubic meters (m³)

Calculate the Weight:

  • Density of steel = 7850 kg/m³
  • Weight = 0.02 m³ × 7850 kg/m³
  • Weight = 157 kg

Therefore, the weight of the steel plate is 157 kg.

Simplified Formula for Common Use:

If you are using millimeters for dimensions and want the weight in kilograms, the formula is slightly adjusted:

Weight (kg) = Length * Width * Thickness * Density of steel 

Where:

  • Length (L) is in millimeters (mm)
  • Width (W) is in millimeters (mm)
  • Thickness (T) is in millimeters (mm)
  • 7.85 is the density of steel in g/cm³ (since 1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³)

This formula converts the dimensions from millimeters to meters and calculates the weight in kilograms directly.
