2. Weight of 3mm Stainless Steel Plates

How to Calculate the Weight?

The weight of a stainless steel plate is calculated using the formula:

Weight (kg)=Density×Length (m)×Width (m)×Thickness (mm)

Weight (kg)=Density×Length (m)×Width (m)×Thickness (mm)

Example Calculation

For a 1 square meter, 3mm thick 304 stainless steel plate:

Weight=7.93×1×1×3=23.79 kg/square meter.

Weight=7.93×1×1×3=23.79kg/square meter.

For a 1219×2438mm plate (cold-rolled, 3mm thickness):

Weight=7.93×1.219×2.438×3=70.7 kg.

Weight=7.93×1.219×2.438×3=70.7kg.


3. Material Density Coefficients

The density coefficient varies depending on the stainless steel material:

  • 7.93: 201, 202, 301, 302, 304, 304L, 305, 321.

  • 7.98: 309S, 310S, 316, 316L, 347.

  • 7.75: 405, 410, 420.

  • 7.70: 409, 430, 434.

    This guide aims to provide clarity on the specifications and weight calculations for 3mm stainless steel plates, helping both buyers and industry professionals make informed decisions.
