Mild steel plates are widely used in construction works. There are different sizes mild plates available in the market. In this article, I will explain how to calculate the weight of different sizes mild steel plates. This will surely help you in billing.
Example 1:
Assume,
The length of the mild plate = L = 1 m
The breadth of the mild plate = B = 1 m
The thickness of the mild plate = T = 10 mm = 0.01 m
To calculate the weight, first we need to find out the volume of the steel plate.
Volume = Length x Breadth x Thickness
= L x B x T
= 1 x 1 x 0.01 = 0.01 m3
Weight of steel plate = Volume of steel plate x Density of steel.
We know that the density of steel = 7850 kg/m3
∴ Weight = 0.01 x 7850 = 78.5 kg
Example 2:
The length of the mild plate = L = 1 m
The breadth of the mild plate = B = 1 m
The thickness of the mild plate = T = 70 mm = 0.07 m
Volume Of plate = L x B x T = 1 x 1 x 0.07 =0.07 m3
∴ Weight of steel plate = Volume of steel plate x Density of steel.
Weight of steel plate = 0.07 x 7850 = 549.5 Kg.
Similarly, you can calculate the weight of different thicknesses of steel plates. I have already calculated the weight of plates with different thicknesses which are standard and available in the market.
Size of steel plate : Length =1 m, Breadth = 1 m

| 3 | 23.55 |
| 4 | 31.4 |
| 5 | 39.25 |
| 6 | 47.1 |
| 8 | 62.8 |
| 10 | 78.5 |
| 12 | 94.2 |
| 14 | 109.9 |
| 16 | 125.6 |
| 18 | 141.3 |
| 20 | 157 |
| 22 | 172.7 |
| 25 | 195.2 |
| 28 | 219.8 |
| 32 | 251.2 |
| 36 | 282.6 |
| 40 | 314 |
| 45 | 353.2 |
| 50 | 392.5 |
| 56 | 439.6 |
| 63 | 494.5 |
| 70 | 549.5 |
