Weight of Brass Flats

The Weight of Brass Flats calculator computes the average weight of brass flats based on the number and dimensions of the flats, and an average density of 8600 kg/m³ for brass 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 Brass 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

Brass is a soft, ductile metal with an excellent machinability rating. Brass is often used for projects that require strength, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and non-sparking characteristics. It is commonly used for decorative purposes because shiny gold-like color and easy polishing.

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
