How do i calculate steel plate weights?
Answer:
*Weight
Volume*Density
=length*breadth*height(thickne...
WHERE,
length is in meter,
breadth is in meter,
thickness is in meter,
density is in kg/m^3
now, its depends upon the steel to calculate the weight , because different types of steel have different constituents and so the density.
*If 7850 kg/m3 is the density of a steel and its volume is
1 m^3(consider l*b*h=1m*1m*1m),
then the weight of the steel plate is ,
=7850.000000000001kg
=7850 kg.
[the density of steel can vary between
7.75 and 8.05.]
*To calculated the mass of steel, you can work on the basis that steel :
weighs 0.283 lb/cu in. So...
a) 1 lb of steel is 1/0.283 = 3.5 cu in.
b) To calculate the mass of a steel plate, take the dimensions in inches
and then, width x thickness x length x 0.283 = lbs of steel.
weigh them. ain't that obvious?
Steel plate is usually too heavy to be moving to a scale and is mostly picked up with large magnets. By knowing the thickness and size you can calculate the weight.
Plug in length, width and thickness here ...
get a scale, place weights on scale, read scale
You need to know the volume and then multiply by the density.
Example: (all in inches)
Length X Width X Thickness X 0.2833 (density) = Weight (Lbs)
Steel weighs about 490 lbs. per cubic foot. 1/4 inch plate is about 10.2 lbs per square foot.
