Plate Weight Calculator sqm to kg
To create a table showing the weight of steel plates in kg per square meter (sqm), we need to consider the thickness of the plate and the density of steel. Let’s create a comprehensive table that will help you quickly determine the weight of steel plates of various thicknesses.
Steel Plate Weight: kg per sqm
Here’s a table showing the weight of steel plates in kg per square meter for different thicknesses:
| Thickness (mm) | Weight (kg/sqm) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 7.85 |
| 2 | 15.70 |
| 3 | 23.55 |
| 4 | 31.40 |
| 5 | 39.25 |
| 6 | 47.10 |
| 8 | 62.80 |
| 10 | 78.50 |
| 12 | 94.20 |
| 15 | 117.75 |
| 20 | 157.00 |
| 25 | 196.25 |
| 30 | 235.50 |
| 40 | 314.00 |
| 50 | 392.50 |
This table is based on the average density of steel, which is approximately 7,850 kg/m³4. To calculate the weight per square meter, we multiply the thickness (in meters) by the density. For example, for a 1 mm thick plate:1 mm = 0.001 m
0.001 m × 7,850 kg/m³ = 7.85 kg/sqm
How to Use This Table
- Find the thickness of your steel plate in the left column.
- The corresponding weight in kg per square meter is in the right column.
- To calculate the total weight of your plate, multiply the weight per sqm by the total area of your plate in square meters.
For example, if you have a 5 mm thick steel plate that is 2 meters wide and 3 meters long:
- From the table, a 5 mm thick plate weighs 39.25 kg/sqm.
- The area of your plate is 2 m × 3 m = 6 sqm.
- Total weight = 39.25 kg/sqm × 6 sqm = 235.5 kg.
This table provides a quick and easy way to estimate the weight of steel plates for various projects and calculations
