Metal Weight formula and how to use it

Use actual measured dimensions for finished parts and supplier density values when weight affects freight or cost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate metal weight?

Calculate volume from the part dimensions, then multiply by material density. Convert units carefully before comparing kg and lb.

What density should I use for steel?

A common estimate for carbon steel is 7.85 g/cm3, but alloy, stainless, aluminum, brass, and carbide all use different values.

Can this be used for shipping estimates?

Yes, but freight carriers may charge by dimensional weight if the package is large relative to actual weight.
