Weight of Aluminum Flats

The Weight of Aluminum Flats calculator computes the average weight of aluminum flats based on the number and dimensions of the flats, and an average density of 2700 kg/m³ for aluminum flats.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

• (n) Number of flats
• (L) Length of the flats
• (W) Width of the flats
• (T) Thickness of the flats
• (ρ) Density of metal

Weight of Aluminum Flats (m): The function returns the weight in pounds. However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu. 

The Math / Science

Aluminum is widely used for fabrication projects where lightweight and corrosion resistance is a concern. It is generally regarded as an excellent material for welding, good for machining or grinding, and poor for bending or forming.

The formula for the weight of metal flats is as follows:

         M = ρ • n • L • W • T

where:

• M is the mass or weight of metal flats
• ρ is the density of the metal
• n is the number of flats
• L is the length of the flats
• W is the width of the flats
• T is the thickness of the flats
