The wide range of alloys available can be broadly split into two groups the work hardening alloys and the heat treatable alloys.
Aluminium sheet weight per square metre.
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.
2 43kg m x 6 3m 15 309 kg.
Use our weight calculator to calculate the weight of various forms including box sections sheets bars and pipes.
To get started choose an alloy and a form from the options below complete the required information and hit the calculate button.
Aluminium sheet is defined as cold rolled material over 0 2mm thick but not exceeding 6mm thick.
Od mm thick mm x thick mm x 0 0260 weight per metre.
How to calculate the weight.
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.
For our square bar if i ordered a 6 3 metre length the weight of the unit would be.
Aluminum sheet weight kgs length mm x breadth mm x 0.
Now you have everything you need to work out the weight per metre.
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.
