To calculate the weight of a specific SA 516 Gr 70 plate:
- Measure the plate dimensions (thickness, width, length) in meters
- Calculate volume: thickness × width × length
- Multiply volume by density (7,870 kg/m³)
For example, a 1m × 2m × 0.025m plate would weigh:
1 × 2 × 0.025 × 7,870 = 393.5 kg
