Formula
W = L × B × t × ρ × n
- W
- total weight
- L
- length, B: width, t: thickness
- ρ
- density of the material
- n
- number of plates
Assumptions
- Plates are rectangular, with no holes, cut-outs or bevels.
- Dimensions are nominal; thickness is uniform across the plate.
- Density defaults to 7850 kg/m³, the nominal unit mass of carbon steel.
Limitations
- Rolling tolerances and mill overweight are not included.
- Cutting allowances, scrap and coatings are not included.
- For chequered plates and non-rectangular shapes, use the actual profile weight from the supplier.
References
- Unit mass of steel, 7850 kg/m³: IS 800:2007, clause 2.2.4.1.
