Use our weight calculator to calculate the weight of various forms including box sections sheets bars and pipes.
Aluminium sheet weight per square metre.
It is important to advise your supplier if you intend to spin draw or anodise the product.
The wide range of alloys available can be broadly split into two groups the work hardening alloys and the heat treatable alloys.
Simply multiply the appropriate alloy density see chart below by the length width and thickness of the required part see worked example below and note that we have used the density of alloy 2014 as the basis for our calculations.
For our square bar if i ordered a 6 3 metre length the weight of the unit would be.
2 43kg m x 6 3m 15 309 kg.
Now you have everything you need to work out the weight per metre.
Aluminum sheet weight kgs length mm x breadth mm x 0.
Od mm thick mm x thick mm x 0 0260 weight per metre.
00000026 x thickness example the weight of aluminum sheet of thickness 1 mm length 2500mm and breadth 1250 mm shall be 2500x1250x 0 0000026 x 1 8 12 kgs sheet.
Information on where to buy aluminium sheet and other tips can be found at our aluminium suppliers page.
Lightweight is perhaps the best known characteristic of aluminium with density of approximately 2 73 x 103 kilograms per cubic metre at 200c as compared with 8 89 x 103 for copper and 7 86 x 103 for carbon steel.
Aluminium sheet is defined as cold rolled material over 0 2mm thick but not exceeding 6mm thick.
The weight of sheet is easily calculated.
