Calculate Weight Of Aluminium

Many friends on the aluminum industry forum are asking some questions about how to calculate weight of aluminium, such as: how to calculate the weight of the aluminum sheet, how to calculate the weight of the aluminum checker plate, and so on. As a manufacturer specializing in the production of aluminum products, today we will give you a summary explanation on the calculation method of aluminum weight, analyze from various conveniences, and let everyone master the calculation skills of aluminum weight, and the formula does not ask for help!

The length multiplied by the width multiplied by the height multiplied by the density is the weight. To calculate the number of aluminum sheets, knowing any three of the four parameters of weight, width, length and thickness, the remaining parameter can be calculated according to the density. The default density (specific gravity) of industrial aluminum is 2.71g/cm³. However, the density of aluminum sheet is mostly around 2.7, and the density of 5000 series and 6000 series aluminum plate may be around 2.68.

1, The formula for calculate weight of aluminium sheets:

Thickness (mm) * width (m) * length (m) * 2.71 (1060 aluminum plate density) = aluminum sheet weight

Example of actual aluminum sheet weight calculation:

Example 1: 1060 aluminum sheet, the specification of aluminum sheet is 2.35*1500*3000, want to know the weight of sheet. 2.35*1.5*3*2.71=28.67KG

Example 2: 3003 aluminum sheet, the specification of the aluminum sheet is 1*1000*0000, I want to know the weight of the sheet. 1*1*1*2.71=2.71 KG

2, Calculation method of how many sheets of aluminum can be produced per ton:

1000 ÷ (weight of aluminum sheet [thickness (mm) * width (m) * length (m) * 2.71 (1060 density of aluminum sheet)]) = number of sheets (how many sheets of aluminum can be produced in 1 ton)

Example 1: 1060 aluminum SHEET, the specification of aluminum plate is 2.35*1500*3000, how many sheets can be produced per ton?

1000÷28.67 (2.35*1.5*3*2.71)=34.87 Pcs

Example 2: 3003 aluminum sheet, the specification of the aluminum sheet is 1*1000*0000, how many sheets can be produced in 1 ton?

1000÷2.71 (1*1*1*2.71)=369 sheets
