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:
