📏 Sheet Weight Calculator
Sheet Weight Calculator – Online Tool (All Materials)
Our Sheet Weight Calculator is an easy-to-use online tool that helps you calculate the weight of different types of sheets instantly. Whether working with steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium, polycarbonate, acrylic, ACP, or perforated sheets, this calculator provides accurate results based on standard material densities.
This tool is ideal for engineers, contractors, manufacturers, and students who require fast and precise sheet weight calculations for construction, logistics, and fabrication work.
Universal Formula for Sheet Weight
The weight of any sheet is calculated using the following formula:
Standard Densities of Sheet Materials
| Material | Density (kg/m³) |
|---|---|
| Mild Steel (MS) | 7850 |
| Stainless Steel 304 | 8000 |
| Galvanized Steel (GI) | ~7850 |
| Carbon Steel | 7850 |
| Titanium | 4500 |
| Aluminum | 2700 |
| Brass | 8500 |
| Copper | 8900 |
| Polycarbonate | 1200 |
| Acrylic (PMMA) | 1180 |
| ACP Sheet (Composite) | ~1750 |
| Perforated Sheet (Steel) | 7850 × (1 – %open/100) |
Example Calculations
1. Mild Steel Sheet
Density = 7850 kg/m³, Dimensions = 2 m × 1 m × 0.005 m
Weight = 78.5 kg
2. Aluminum Sheet
Density = 2700 kg/m³, Dimensions = 2 m × 1 m × 0.005 m
Weight = 27.0 kg
3. Copper Sheet
Density = 8900 kg/m³, Dimensions = 1 m × 1 m × 0.01 m
Weight = 89.0 kg
4. Polycarbonate Sheet
Density = 1200 kg/m³, Dimensions = 3 m × 2 m × 0.006 m
Weight = 43.2 kg
