Aluminium Sheet Weight Calculation

Aluminium sheet weight calculation formula is the weight of the aluminium sheet = the thickness * width * length * density of aluminum sheet. The density of aluminium sheet of different aluminum alloys is different. The density of pure aluminum sheet is: 2.71g/cm3 (1000 series aluminum sheet is pure aluminum), aluminum alloy density is 2.73 g/cm3 (2000 series, 3000 series, 5000 series, 6000 series and 7000 series aluminium sheet is aluminum alloy). In the same area, the weight of 5000 series aluminum-magnesium alloy is lower than that of other series. Therefore, it is often used in aviation, such as aircraft fuel tanks. It is also widely used in conventional industries. The processing technology is continuous casting and rolling, which belongs to the series of hot rolled aluminum sheets, so it can be further processed by oxidation.

The density of pure aluminum (ρ=2.7g/cm3) is relatively small, about 1/3 of that of iron. The strength of pure aluminum is very low, and the σb value of the annealed state is about 8kgf/mm2, so it is not suitable for structural materials. Through long-term production practice and scientific experiments, people gradually strengthen aluminum by adding alloying elements and applying heat treatment, which results in a series of aluminum alloys. The alloys formed by adding certain elements can maintain high strength while maintaining the advantages of pure aluminum and light weight, and the σb values can reach 24-60kgf/mm2 respectively. This makes its "specific strength" (ratio of strength to specific gravity σb/ρ) better than many alloy steels, making it an ideal structural material, alloy aluminium sheet is widely used in machinery manufacturing, transportation machinery, power machinery and aviation industry, skin, compressor, etc. are often made of aluminum alloy to reduce the weight. Using aluminum alloy to replace the welding of steel plate material, the structural weight can be reduced by more than 50%.

If the aluminium sheet weight calculation is strictly follow the formula for theoretical calculation, and the result is often lighter than the actual one, because the actual thickness and size of the aluminum sheet are not so accurate, and the actual weight will also be affected after the aluminium sheet is coated with protective film. Theoretical calculations only provide a rough reference. In actual use, aluminium sheet can replace many metal sheets and play a lightweight role. Many manufacturing, industrial, and construction industries use aluminum sheet.
