SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGT H (MM) X WIDT H (MM) X 0. 00000785 X T HICKNESS
example – T he weight of MS Sheet of 1mm thickness and size 1250 MM X 2500 MM shall be
2500MM X 1250 MM X 0.00000785 X 1 = 24.53 KGS/ SHEET
—————————————————
ROLLED STEEL CHANNELS

MS SQUARE
WEIGHT (KGS ) = WIDT H X WIDT H X 0.00000785 X LENGT H.
Example : A Square of size 25mm and length 1 metre then the weight shall be.
25x25X 0.00000785 X 1000mm = 4.90 kgs/metre

MS ROUND
WEIGHT (KGS ) = 3.14 X 0.00000785 X ((diameter / 2)X( diameter / 2)) X LENGT H.
Example : A Round of 20mm diameter and length 1 metre then the weight shall be.
3.14 X 0.00000785 X ((20/2) X ( 20/2)) X 1000 mm = 2.46 kgs / metre

SS ROUND
DIA (mm) X DIA (mm) X 0.00623 = WEIGHT PER MET RE
SS / MS Pipe
OD ( mm) – W.T thick(mm) X W.T hick (mm) X 0.0248 = Weight Per Metre
OD ( mm) – W.T thick(mm) X W.T hick (mm) X 0.00756 = Weight Per Foot
SS / MS CIRCLE
DIA(mm) X DIA (mm) X T HICK(mm) 0.0000063 = Kg Per Piece

SS sheet
Length (Mtr) X Width (Mtr) X T hick(mm) X 8 = Weight Per Piece
Length (f t) X Width (f t) X T hick(inch) X 3 /4 = Weight Per Piece

S.S HEXAGONAL BAR


DIA (mm) X DIA (mm) X 0.00680 = WT. PER Mtr
Dia (mm) X Dia (mm) X 0.002072 = Wt. Per f oot.

BRASS SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGT H (MM) X BREADT H (MM) X 0. 0000085 X T HICKNESS
Example – T he weight of brass sheet of thickness 1 mm, length 1220mm and breadth 355mm shall be
1220 X355X 0.0000085 X 1 = 3.68 Kgs/Sheet

COPPER SHEET

Example – T he weight of coppper sheet of thickness 1 mm, length 1220mm and breadth 355mm shall be
1220X355 X 0.0000087 X 1 = 3.76 Kgs/Sheet

BRASS / COPPER PIPE


OD (mm) – T HICK (mm) X T HICK(mm) X 0.0260 = WEIGHT PER MET RE

ALUMINUM SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGT H (MM) X BREADT H (MM) X 0. 00000026 X T HICKNESS
Example – T he 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
