Sheet: 1) Mild Steel (MS)

The document provides formulas and tables to calculate the weight of various steel and metal sheets, plates, channels, pipes, and bars based on their dimensions and materials. It includes metrics for mild steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum, and steel plate thicknesses. The key information given includes formulas using thickness, length, diameter, and specific constants to determine the weight in kilograms or pounds per meter or foot of the different materials. Tables also list standard thickness and the corresponding weights in kg/m2 or lbs/ft2 for steel plates.

1) MILD STEEL (MS)

SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X WIDTH (MM) X 0. 00000785 X THICKNESS
example The 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 ) = WIDTH X WIDTH X 0.00000785 X LENGTH.
Example : A Square of size 25mm and length 1 metre then the weight shall be.
2525X 0.00000785 X 1000mm = 4.90 kgs/metre
MS ROUND
WEIGHT (KGS ) = 3.14 X 0.00000785 X ((diameter / 2)X( diameter / 2)) X LENGTH.
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 METRE
SS / MS Pipe
OD ( mm) [Link](mm) X [Link] (mm) X 0.0248 = Weight Per Metre
OD ( mm) [Link](mm) X [Link] (mm) X 0.00756 = Weight Per Foot
SS / MS CIRCLE
DIA(mm) X DIA (mm) X THICK(mm) 0.0000063 = Kg Per Piece
SS sheet
Length (Mtr) X Width (Mtr) X Thick(mm) X 8 = Weight Per Piece
Length (ft) X Width (ft) X Thick(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 foot.
BRASS SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X BREADTH (MM) X 0. 0000085 X THICKNESS
Example The 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
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X BREADTH (MM) X 0. 0000087 X THICKNESS
Example The 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) THICK (mm) X THICK(mm) X 0.0260 = WEIGHT PER METRE
ALUMINUM SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X BREADTH (MM) X 0. 00000026 X THICKNESS
Example The weight of Aluminum sheet of thickness 1 mm, length 2500mm and breadth
1250 mm shall be
25001250X 0.0000026 X 1 = 8.12 Kgs/Sheet
ALUMINIUM PIPE
OD (mm) THICK(mm) X THICK(mm) X0.0083 = WEIGHT PER METRE
