Hot Rolled Plate Weight Calculator User Guide
Hot rolled steel plates are flat steel products formed at high temperatures, offering high strength, good toughness, low cost, and excellent weldability. Widely used in machinery manufacturing, steel structures, bridges, ships, pressure vessels, and automotive chassis.
Supported Plate Types
- ✅ Material: Q235B, Q355B Carbon Steel (density 7.85 g/cm³)
- ✅ Common Sizes: Thickness 1mm to 100mm, customizable dimensions
- ✅ Calculation Modes: Single sheet weight / Total weight with quantity
Plate Weight Formula
Weight (kg) = Thickness (mm) × Width (mm) × Length (mm) × 7.85 ÷ 1,000,000
Simplified formula:
Weight (kg/m²) = Thickness (mm) × 7.85
