Metals Weight Calculator
Estimate the weight of metal materials for construction or fabrication. Select your material and shape to get an accurate weight in kg or lbs.
Weight = Volume × Density
Sheet of Mild Steel (1000mm x 500mm x 5mm): Weight = (1000 * 500 * 5) * 7.85 / 1,000,000 ≈ 19.63 kg.
How is the weight of metal calculated?
The weight is calculated by multiplying the volume of the metal piece by its density. Volume is determined by the shape (e.g., sheet, bar, pipe) and its dimensions.
What unit is used for density?
In this calculator, density is provided in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³), which is equivalent to kilograms per liter (kg/L).
Can I calculate the weight of a custom alloy?
Yes, you can select the "Custom Density" option and enter the specific density of your material in g/cm³.
How do I convert kilograms to pounds?
Multiply the kilogram value by 2.20462. Our calculator provides the result in both kilograms and pounds for your convenience.
