1) MILD STEEL (MS)
SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X WIDTH (MM) X 0. 00000785 X THICKNESS
example – The weight of MS Sheet of 1mm thickness and size 1250 MM X 2500 MM shall be
2500MM X 1250 MM X 0.00000785 X 1 = 24.53 KGS/ SHEET
MS SQUARE
WEIGHT (KGS ) = WIDTH X WIDTH X 0.00000785 X LENGTH.
Example : A Square of size 25mm and length 1 metre then the weight shall be.
25x25X 0.00000785 X 1000mm = 4.90 kgs/metre
MS ROUND
WEIGHT (KGS ) = 3.14 X 0.00000785 X ((diameter / 2)X( diameter / 2)) X LENGTH.
Example : A Round of 20mm diameter and length 1 metre then the weight shall be.
3.14 X 0.00000785 X ((20/2) X ( 20/2)) X 1000 mm = 2.46 kgs / metre
SS ROUND
DIA (mm) X DIA (mm) X 0.00623 = WEIGHT PER METRE
SS / MS Pipe
OD ( mm) – W.Tthick(mm) X W.Thick (mm) X 0.0248 = Weight Per Metre
OD ( mm) – W.Tthick(mm) X W.Thick (mm) X 0.00756 = Weight Per Foot
SS / MS CIRCLE
DIA(mm) X DIA (mm) X THICK(mm) 0.0000063 = Kg Per Piece
SS sheet
Length (Mtr) X Width (Mtr) X Thick(mm) X 8 = Weight Per Piece
Length (ft) X Width (ft) X Thick(inch) X 3 /4 = Weight Per Piece
S.S HEXAGONAL BAR
DIA (mm) X DIA (mm) X 0.00680 = WT. PER Mtr
Dia (mm) X Dia (mm) X 0.002072 = Wt. Per foot.
BRASS SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X BREADTH (MM) X 0. 0000085 X THICKNESS
Example – The weight of brass sheet of thickness 1 mm, length 1220mm and breadth 355mm shall be
1220 X355X 0.0000085 X 1 = 3.68 Kgs/Sheet
COPPER SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X BREADTH (MM) X 0. 0000087 X THICKNESS
Example – The weight of coppper sheet of thickness 1 mm, length 1220mm and breadth 355mm shall be
1220X355 X 0.0000087 X 1 = 3.76 Kgs/Sheet
BRASS / COPPER PIPE
OD (mm) – THICK (mm) X THICK(mm) X 0.0260 = WEIGHT PER METRE
ALUMINUM SHEET
WEIGHT (KGS) = LENGTH (MM) X BREADTH (MM) X 0. 00000026 X THICKNESS
Example – The weight of Aluminum sheet of thickness 1 mm, length 2500mm and breadth 1250 mm shall be
2500x1250X 0.0000026 X 1 = 8.12 Kgs/Sheet
ALUMINIUM PIPE
OD (mm) – THICK(mm) X THICK(mm) X0.0083 = WEIGHT PER METRE

sir, thanx for sharing ur knowledge….
Sir, kindly let us know how to calculate weight of aluminium circle and about blank size calculation for ss, ms , al components
Please let me know the weight & rate of the following MS pipe 16 gauge details,
60mm,20mm & 10 mm dia rods
please let me know how i calculate the compaction of paver block.
sir,let me know where we can learn all about calculation of coloumns,beams &rings.
thanx for sharing ur knowledge….
kindly provide weight of 60mm round bar in 1 mtr.
Kindly let me know the weights of the following per meter lenght.
1. M.S. 40X40X5 MM SQUARE TUBE.
2. M.S. 03 MM EXT. DIA CIRCULAR PIPE WITH 5 MM GUAGE.
3. M.S. 5MM GUAGE FLAT BAR WITH 10MM WIDTH.
Kindly let me know that how calculate ms angle 50x50x5, 1 meter length
how i can calculate the weight of chequred plate
Add 6.1 kg/m with unitweight of the plate ,ie if u have 5 mm thickness chq plate ,unit weight will be 39.25 + 6..1 = 45.35 kg/m ( unit wt of 5mm ms plate is 39.25 )
KIndly let me know the how to convert Thickness from “Guage to mm”
Example: MS 16 Guage sheet = ? MM
Kindly let me know how to convert weight meter to kilogram
kindly let me know how to convert angle iron weight meter to kilogram
thanks to Mr Naven for pointing out a huge error in this. It has been rectified now. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Thanks for giving such a nice information which is realy very helpful to all engineers

Please meaning of 3.14 in formula.
is standard formula for all Ms pipe ?
MS ROUND
WEIGHT (KGS ) = 3.14 * 0.00000785 * ((diameter / 2)*( diameter / 2)) * LENGTH
3.14 MEANS PAI (VALUE)
Iron formula of length
0.00000785 is ?
Density of ms steel 7850kg/m^3
