Metal weight calculator
Accurate weight and volume calculation for steel, stainless, aluminum and non-ferrous rolled stock
Calculators — FAQ
How accurate is the calculation?+
The calculation uses standard material density and exact profile geometry. Real batch weight may differ by 1-3% due to dimensional tolerances, chemical variation, and rolling method (hot/cold). For commercial use always cross-check with the metal certificate.
Which materials are supported?+
16 of the most common materials: carbon and tool steels, stainless AISI 304/316/321, cast iron, aluminum and its alloys (D16, duralumin), copper, brass, bronze, titanium, lead, zinc, nickel. Need another? Let us know.
Which profiles are supported?+
Sheet, round, square, hex, tubes (round/square/rectangular), equal-leg angle, channel, I-beam, flat bar, wire. Covers about 95% of typical rolled stock.
How is tube weight calculated?+
Cross-section area = π × (R² − r²), where R is the outer radius and r the inner (R minus wall thickness). Volume = area × length. Weight = volume × material density.
Can I use this to estimate metal cost?+
The calculator gives mass — multiply by the current per-kg price for that specific grade. Stock prices change daily, so for accurate cost ask suppliers or us — we keep common stock in our warehouse.
