Calculating metal weight?
Select a shape and material, then enter dimensions to find the weight.
About this calculator
Overview
Different metals have vastly different densities. For example, steel is nearly three times denser than aluminum. This calculator determines the volume of the shape and applies the specific density of the chosen metal.
💡
Pro Tips
Check wall thickness carefully for hollow tubes.
Standard mill tolerances may affect actual weight slightly.
In metric projects, dimensions are almost always given in mm for precision.
