If you’re wondering, How to calculate the weight of sheet metal, you’re in the right place. Our calculator will do it for you, however, if you’re looking to do it yourself, here’s how to:
Firstly, you need the calculate the volume, you can do so by doing:
V = Width x Thickness x Length
Â
 Then we need to know the density of the metal or alloy we’re working with, this is a set value, for example, mild metal has a density of 0.00785 g/mm3, We can then calculate the weight with:
Weight = Volume x Density x Conversion Factor
Â
 The conversion factor in this formula talks about the system we’re using to input data, if we’re using inches, we need to convert the density to pounds/in, we can achieve so by multiplying by 36.13
Have in mind that this formula only works in the shape is a sheet.
