Formulas Used
Per‑sheet area (m²) = Length × Width
Per‑sheet volume (m³) = Area × Thickness
Per‑sheet weight (kg) = Volume × Density
Total weight (kg) = Per‑sheet weight × Quantity
Densities use kg/m³. Dimensions are converted to meters before calculating volume.
Notes on gauges: Gauge values are converted to thickness using common reference tables for uncoated sheet steel and aluminum. Real products vary by standard and manufacturer.
How to Use This Calculator
- Select a material. Choose “Custom Density” to enter your own density.
- Pick your units for length and width, then enter dimensions.
- Select the thickness unit. For gauges, enter the gauge number.
- Enter the quantity of sheets and click Calculate.
- Review the results and export CSV or save a PDF.
FAQs
Each material maps to a typical density in kg/m³: Carbon Steel 7850, Stainless 8000, Galvanized 7850, Aluminum 2700, Copper 8960, Brass 8500, Titanium 4500, Polycarbonate 1200, PVC 1380. You can override using Custom Density.
Gauge standards vary by material and specification. We use common reference tables for uncoated sheet steel and aluminum. Always confirm the exact thickness from product datasheets when tolerances are critical.
Yes. Choose inches or millimeters for length and width, and independently choose mm, inches, or gauge for thickness. The calculator converts everything into meters before computing volume and weight.
