Sheet Steel Area to Weight

Sheet Steel Weight can be calculated by following formula :

  • L = Length in mm
  • W = Width in mm
  • T = Thickness in mm
  • S = Specific material density
Weight = L/1000 * W/1000 * T * S

SS sheet : Length (Mtr) X Width (Mtr) X Thick(mm) X 8 = Weight Per Piece

Density, Melting Temperature of various Metals

Meterial Density is dependent on how material atoms are packed together. Higher the tightness of Atom package in Metals, higher the Weight. Density is calculated simply by dividing the mass (m) of an object by its volume (V).

ρ = kg / m3
