Calculate kg per square meter for metal sheet and plate from thickness and material density. Then estimate total sheet weight for purchasing, fabrication and logistics.
Use the same material and thickness above, then enter the sheet dimensions and quantity to estimate the total mass.
How much does 1 mm steel sheet weigh per square meter? Using a density of 7850 kg/m³, 1 mm carbon steel weighs approximately 7.85 kg per square meter.
How much does 2 mm aluminum sheet weigh per square meter? Using 2700 kg/m³, 2 mm aluminum weighs approximately 5.40 kg/m².
What is the formula for sheet metal weight? Sheet weight equals area × thickness × density.
Can I calculate plate weight as well? Yes. The same mass formula applies to flat metal sheet and plate when thickness, dimensions and density are known.
Why does stainless steel weigh slightly more than aluminum? Stainless steel has substantially higher density than aluminum, so a sheet of identical dimensions and thickness has greater mass.
Can I use a custom density? Yes. The custom-density option lets you enter a material-specific density in kg/m³ or g/cm³.
Can this calculate a full order weight? Yes. Enter length, width and quantity in the total sheet section to estimate the combined mass.
Is the result exact for purchasing? It is an estimate based on the entered dimensions and density. Supplier specifications and actual weighed material should be used for final commercial quantities.
