Metal weight calculator

Metal Weight Calculated — What's Next for Your Part

The metal weight calculator gives the theoretical weight of a blank by steel grade and section type: round bar, square bar, sheet, angle, pipe, rectangular tube, channel, beam. For load-bearing parts, this figure is enough to estimate the heat treatment cost: KARBAZ charges for it per kilogram.

Choose a Process for Your Part's Function

The part is subject to wear: a hard surface and a tough core are needed Carburizing · carbonitriding · nitriding
Strength is needed throughout the cross-section Hardening followed by tempering
Hardness is needed only on the working surface Induction hardening · local heat treatment
The part distorts after treatment, geometry is critical Isothermal hardening · hardening in protective atmospheres
The blank is too hard to machine Annealing · normalizing
Hardness on the drawing is specified in a different scale HRC, HV, HB hardness converter

Sheet Metal Weight: 1 m² of Sheet by Thickness

Steel with a density of 7850 kg/m³. Theoretical weight, excluding rolling tolerances.

For non-standard cutting, multiply the weight of 1 m² by the sheet area. The weight of round and square bars, angles, pipes, channels and beams is easier to calculate with the calculator above — it takes the metal grade into account.
