Steel Plate Mass Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Steel Plate Mass.
Msp =SL * SW* T/12 * 490
- Where Msp is the Steel Plate Mass (lbs)
- SL is the length (ft)
- SW is the width (ft)
- T is the thickness (in)
How to Calculate Steel Plate Mass?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Steel Plate Mass.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the length (ft).
- The length (ft) is calculated to be : 5.
- Next, determine the width (ft).
- The width (ft) is measured to be: 6.
- Next, determine the thickness (in).
- The thickness (in) is found to be: 3.
- Finally, calculate the Steel Plate Mass using the formula above:
Msp =SL * SW* T/12 * 490
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
Msp =5 *6* 3/12 * 490 = 3675 (lbs)
Example Problem #2
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
length (ft) = 8
width (ft) = 6
thickness (in) = 2
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
Msp =SL * SW* T/12 * 490 = (lbs)
