Let us calculate aluminum sheet weight
Weight = Length x Width x Thickness x Density of Aluminum
Measure the dimensions of the aluminum sheet in the same unit (e.g., centimeters, inches, or meters).
Find the density of aluminum. The density of aluminum is typically around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) or 0.0975 pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³).
Now, let's calculate the weight in different units:
A. Weight in grams:
Weight (grams) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Thickness (cm) x 2.7 (g/cm³)
B. Weight in kilograms:
Weight (kg) = Length (m) x Width (m) x Thickness (m) x 2.7 (g/cm³) / 1000
C. Weight in pounds:
Weight (lb) = Length (inches) x Width (inches) x Thickness (inches) x 0.0975 (lb/in³)
Keep in mind that if you have a specific alloy of aluminum, the density might differ slightly, so it's always a good idea to check the density value for that particular alloy if available.
For example, let's say we have an aluminum sheet with the following dimensions:
Length = 100
cm
Width = 50 cm
Thickness = 2 mm (0.2 cm)
Weight (grams)
= 100 cm x 50 cm x 0.2 cm x 2.7 g/cm³ = 2700 grams = 2.7 kg (approximately)
Weight (pounds)
= 39.37 inches x 19.69 inches x 0.07874 inches x 0.0975 lb/in³ = 7.95 pounds
(approximately)
