How to calculate the weight of any sheet or plate
given aluminium base density of 2.71
1. Calculate weight per sq.m
Density x Mass x Thickness = weight per sq. m
ie: 2.71 x 1.00 x Thickness
eg: Weight of 1.6mm sheet per sq. m:
2.71 x I .00 x 1.6 = 4.336 kg per sq. m
2. Multiply the weight per sq.m by the area of the sheet
eg: Weight of 1.6 x 1200 x 2400 sheet (2.88 sq. m)
4.336 x 2.88 = 12.487 kg
Just thought this might be useful.
