Weight calculation for MS Plate:

Weight (Kg) = Length (mm) x Width (mm) x Thickness (mm) x 0.00000785 Kg/mm3

(Note: Density of Mild Steel= 7850 Kg/m3 = 0.00000785 Kg/mm3)

Example: MS Plate Length=2000mm, Width=1500mm & Thickness= 10mm

Weight (Kg) = 2000 x 1500 x 10 x 0.00000785 = 235.5 kg

Weight calculation Example

Weight calculation from AutoCAD:

  1.  Draft part drawing.
  2. Draw Boundary or Region for drafted profile.
  3. Go to enquiry tool and click on Area, right click and select object.
  4. Result will show Total area of profile, copy this area from AutoCAD to calculate weight.
  5. Weight (Kg) = Area (mm2) x Thickness (mm) x 0.00000785 Kg/mm3 
  6. Example: Area from AutoCAD= 3000000 mm2 & Thickness= 10mm, Weight (Kg) = 3000000x 10 x 0.00000785 = 235.5 kg
  7. Refer the below steps in AutoCAD to calculate area.

5. Result will show Total area of profile after subtracting the hole and slot area, copy this area from AutoCAD to calculate weight.
6. Weight (Kg) = Area (mm2) x Thickness (mm) x 0.00000785 Kg/mm3, 
7. Example: Area from AutoCAD= 303384.3040 mm2 & Thickness= 10mm.
Weight (Kg) = 303384.3040x 10 x 0.00000785 = 23.815 kg
