It is important to advise your supplier if you intend to spin draw or anodise the product.
Aluminium sheet weight per square metre.
2 43kg m x 6 3m 15 309 kg.
The wide range of alloys available can be broadly split into two groups the work hardening alloys and the heat treatable alloys.
Simply multiply the appropriate alloy density see chart below by the length width and thickness of the required part see worked example below and note that we have used the density of alloy 2014 as the basis for our calculations.
To find out the total weight per unit of your aluminium extrusion simply multiply the kg m by the length of the finished product.
Use our weight calculator to calculate the weight of various forms including box sections sheets bars and pipes.
Information on where to buy aluminium sheet and other tips can be found at our aluminium suppliers page.
For our square bar if i ordered a 6 3 metre length the weight of the unit would be.
Aluminum sheet weight kgs length mm x breadth mm x 0.
How to calculate the weight.
Aluminium sheet is defined as cold rolled material over 0 2mm thick but not exceeding 6mm thick.
Od mm thick mm x thick mm x 0 0260 weight per metre.
Lightweight is perhaps the best known characteristic of aluminium with density of approximately 2 73 x 103 kilograms per cubic metre at 200c as compared with 8 89 x 103 for copper and 7 86 x 103 for carbon steel.
