Steel Plates Weight

Overview

Engineering reference data for Steel Plates Weight in material science and properties.

Key Formulas

Stress

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Force per unit area.

Strain

$\varepsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

Change in length per original length.

Hooke's Law

$\sigma = E \varepsilon$

Stress proportional to strain in elastic region.

Thermal Expansion

$\Delta L = \alpha L_0 \Delta T$

Length change due to temperature.

Variables

Weight Calculation Formulas

For hot rolled mild steel plates (density ≈ 490 lb/ft³ or 7850 kg/m³):

Imperial (weight per ft²):

$W = 40.8 \cdot t$

where $W$ is weight in lb/ft² and $t$ is thickness in inches.

Metric (weight per m²):

$W = 7.85 \cdot t$

where $W$ is weight in kg/m² and $t$ is thickness in mm.
